Young footballers got their first taste of professional football training with an orientation session organised by VIVA, to give them a kick-start into their week-long trip to the UK where they will be trained under the supervision of Manchester United coaches next week.
The session, conducted by football veteran Hamad Mohammed, focused on the players’ basic soccer skills as well as team-building exercises.
Twenty-two footballers were recently handpicked to attend a week-long training camp in Carrington to learn the secrets of professional football from the current English Premiership champions in the same place where the club’s own legends, such as Denis Law and George Best, were put through their paces.
Mohammed said: “Through this induction process, we wanted to give these young players an insight into the training process of Manchester United’s Academy which focuses on elevating soccer capabilities of each player and prepares them to play the United Way to reach their optimum level of performance.”
VIVA, through its partnership with Manchester United, regularly offers fans special opportunities to fulfil their football dreams with trips to matches and tours of Old Trafford.
