There's an outdoor FIFA-standard natural grass football field and two FIFA two-star artificial turf fields which will host Manchester City’s Abu Dhabi program, City Football Schools, as well as the LaLiga Academy. The programs help young players improve their football skills in a fun environment led by fully qualified coaches.
