Dubai · 10–12 December 2026
Book your child a place at The Football Expo Dubai
Dubai Sports City. Ages 11–19. Three days in front of UK school coaches, Directors of Sport and professional scouts, with private family appointments alongside the football.
- Three sessions, not one trialThursday, Friday and Saturday. Coaches see your child over days, not minutes.
- The schools come to youDirectors of Sport fly in. You get private appointment slots, not a queue.
- No obligation either wayIf we do not think a UK move suits your child, we will tell you that.
The event itself was extremely well organised and a great success. We had the opportunity to meet with 4–5 schools, speak directly with them, and gain a real understanding of the options available.
Thanks to their guidance and support, we're happy to say we found the perfect school and location for our daughter.

Before you book
Common questions
Who is the expo for?
Players aged 11–19 and their parents. You do not need to have decided on a UK move — plenty of families come to work out whether it suits their child at all.
Does my child need to attend all three days?
The two pitch sessions are where coaches see them play, so both matter. Saturday is assessment and conversation, and one parent attending is usually enough.
What happens after the expo?
We come back to you with the schools that showed genuine interest and what each would mean in practice — fees, entry points, and the football on offer. No automated sequence.
Is there a cost?
Register your place and we will confirm places, pricing and payment details by email before anything is charged.
Placement itself is separate: families pay us nothing, and schools pay a fee only when a child enrols.
