In just our first full Academy season, Banaat FC teams became champions across multiple age groups, with players earning individual awards and recognition along the way.

The results matter... not because winning is everything, but because they show how quickly our girls are growing when given the right environment, coaching and competition.

The girls growing up in our Academy can see exactly where the journey can lead.

At the top of the pathway is a Banaat FC Women's First Team that has won the UAE Women's League and UAE Women's Super Cup and became the first club from Dubai to compete in the AFC Women's Champions League.

Our Academy players aren't being promised a pathway that might exist one day.

They're growing up inside one that already does.

At Banaat FC, we believe developing the player also means developing the girl.

That is why community, identity, creativity and confidence are built into the Academy experience... both on the pitch and through the Banaat FC Hub in Alserkal Avenue, our home for culture, community and connection beyond football.

Through workshops such as tifo-painting and Banaat Beyond the Pitch, and events and activations including Al Quoz Arts Fest, Koora w Karak, Iftar on the Pitch, Academy Awards and Media Days, our players are given opportunities to express themselves, connect with one another and understand the culture of the club beyond the game.

We want girls who grow in confidence, feel a strong sense of belonging and know they are part of something bigger than football.
