The Abu Dhabi Sports Council (ADSC), in collaboration with the sports and marketing agency “Two-Eleven,” recently organized a coexistence program for four coaches from Abu Dhabi clubs at the prestigious UE Cornella Academy in Spain. The program took place from 30th July to 31st August as part of the foundation program, “The Coach,” which aims to establish a robust training infrastructure and empower coaching staff in the emirate by providing internationally recognized licenses and certifications.
The participating coaches included Abdullah Ibrahim Al Hammadi (Al Dhafra), Abdullah Bilal Al Noubi (Al Wahda), Adel Abdullah Basulaiman (Baniyas), and Sami Ramadan Al Rashidi (Al Ain). The program itinerary comprised a combination of theoretical lectures and practical training exercises.
Talal Al Hashemi, Executive Director of the Sports Development Sector at the Abu Dhabi Sports Council, highlighted the Council’s commitment to enhancing the technical capabilities within Abu Dhabi clubs. The goal is to provide professional experiences that contribute to the skill development of coaching personnel. The coexistence program serves as part of the Council’s ongoing efforts to cultivate competent training teams and strengthen the professional foundation of Abu Dhabi clubs and academies. These initiatives align with the Council’s mission to advance Abu Dhabi’s sports sector and yield significant benefits.
Expressing satisfaction with the results of the coexistence program conducted at one of Europe’s prestigious football academies, Al Hashemi emphasized the Council’s eagerness to collaborate with various stakeholders in implementing further developmental programs for coaches across various sporting disciplines.
