"Khidmah are always searching for ways to improve and enhance the quality of life for our communities," says Nicole Oliveira, Khidmah Health & Clubhouse Supervisor, "the IFA Football Academy will offer great health and fitness benefits to the children of our communities as well as being great fun and we are looking forward to the launch."
IFA currently has over 2,000 participants attending coaching sessions and junior leagues on a weekly basis across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. The new sessions are part of IFA's strategy of bringing sport to all and encouraging children to lead healthy, active lifestyles throughout the UAE.
"We are happy to be continuing our expansion with the addition of these 3 bustling communities in Abu Dhabi," says Jim Reilly, Commercial Director of IFA, "We will be providing the children there with fun and education and most importantly getting them off the settee and into some fantastic exercise."
The IFA weekly academy sessions will start from February 20th in the Khidmah managed communities of Khalidiya Village, Golf Gardens and Sas al Nakhl, for children aged 4 to 14.
