Arabian Falcons FC × Brooke House FC

More than a season abroad.

This is a full-time football program for ambitious players prepared to commit to their development. The experience combines structured training, senior competition and high-performance support with a wider player pathway.

Train with structure

A weekly high-performance training program, professional coaching and a competitive senior match program. Preparation, team standards and matchday routines are part of the full-time environment.

Build the athlete

Individual strength, conditioning and athletic development, supported by recovery work, medical care and injury management. Player welfare sits alongside the demands of training and competition.

Understand your performance

Advanced player data, analysis and performance tracking feed into an individual development plan. Regular reviews and assessments help players identify their priorities and measure their progress.

Prepare for what comes next

Career guidance, player profiles and a season-long performance record support the next conversation. Professional match footage and development assessments help show what a player can do.

Team AFFC

Experience that sets the standard.

The program’s team brings together more than 700 Premier League appearances and 1,500 professional matches. The international brochure features Danny Simpson, Jason Puncheon, Jonjo Shelvey and Ravel Morrison.

Professional coaching and mentorship give players insight into the preparation, consistency and personal standards demanded by the game. The focus is on building habits a player can carry into training, competition and their next football environment.

Dubai · UK · USA

One pathway. Multiple routes forward.

The season builds the player and their performance record. From there, the AFFC and Brooke House pathway creates possible next steps, with decisions based on ability, development and selection.

Dubai

AFFC senior football

Build competitive senior experience within the AFFC club structure. The brochure sets out a Third Division route and progression toward the first-team environment in the UAE Second Division. Progression depends on performance and selection.

UK

Assessment and trial window

Through the Arabian Falcons FC and Brooke House FC pathway, players can be considered for a UK assessment and trial window. This international route is selection-based, with further UK and European trial and network opportunities.

USA

USL League Two

A possible next stage is an eight-week pre-professional season in the USA, running from May to July. The pathway offers college, USL and MLS recruitment exposure, with selection required for participation.

Where the journey can lead

Beyond AFFC senior football and UK or European opportunities, the pathway can connect players with US college football and education. There are also wider career routes in coaching, analysis, operations, media and the football industry.

The full pathway graphic explains how the club and international routes fit together. Every next step depends on the individual player. Nothing is given, everything is earned.

Player content + visibility

Build a record of your game.

Livestreamed matches make the season visible to families, scouts and supporters. Footage can be watched, reviewed and shared, helping turn each fixture into a record of performance and development.

Player branding support can include profile features, photography, video, training content, behind-the-scenes coverage and personal journey storytelling. These assets help players present a professional body of work alongside their football progress.

Visibility supports opportunity. It does not replace performance, professionalism or the selection decisions of clubs and coaches.

Living in Dubai

A football-first routine.

The international package supports players relocating for a full season. Accommodation, meals and daily transport help organize life around training, matches and program activities.

This route suits players aged 17 and over who are comfortable with the commitment of a season away from home. Families should discuss player welfare, accommodation arrangements and the support available before making a decision.

UAE visa support is included in the international package. Confirm the requirements, process and individual eligibility with the team before booking travel.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the international program for?

The program is designed for players aged 17 and over who are ready to relocate to Dubai and commit to a full season of football development. It suits serious players seeking senior football exposure and a structured, professional environment.

What does the season fee include?

The international brochure lists the football program, a professional player contract within the UAE, Nike kit, accommodation, three meals a day, daily program transport and UAE visa support. Confirm the current fee, contract terms, payment schedule and any additional expenses before committing.

Are the UK and US opportunities automatic?

No. The UK assessment route and USL League Two pathway are selection-based. First-team progression and future football opportunities must be earned through performance. An inquiry or program place does not guarantee a trial outcome, a place on an international squad or a subsequent professional career.

Can my family follow my progress?

Match livestreaming is part of the Path to Pro model. Match footage, player profiles and professional content help families follow the season and give players a record of their development.

Is university study included?

This Dubai offer is a full-time football program, not the Madrid university pathway. Further football, education and career routes, including US college opportunities, are possible next steps to discuss with the team, rather than an included university place.
