Selection Junior & Selection - Dubai Barca Academy

Our selection teams follow a programme that is different from the other teams to ensure that each player is challenged and developed to reach his/her maximum abilities.

It’s a high-competitive programme that reproduces FC Barcelona’s youth system of integral development through training and competition. This programme comprehends teams from U9 to U16.

Players that are part of this program train three times per week and participate in weekly external competitions, such as regional and national leagues as well as national and international tournaments.

Internal analysis: Recording of training and matches on a bi-weekly basis, from which specific training content will be defined per player and team;
