Sadiq Yusuf Supports Abu Dhabi FA Players’ Move to Dubai
Cyril Ogar
Deputy Chief of Staff to the Niger State Governor, Sadiq Yusuf, popularly known as “King of Boys” and “D’Cos,” has supported the movement of players from Abu Dhabi Football Academy to a new club in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Yusuf’s intervention helped facilitate the players’ relocation as they begin a new phase of their football careers in the UAE.
Six players from Abu Dhabi Football Academy have now travelled to Dubai and have already commenced training with their new team.
The players took part in their first training session with the Dubai-based club Monday, marking the beginning of their integration into the team and preparations for upcoming fixtures.
The support from Yusuf followed an appeal for assistance to enable the academy players complete their travel arrangements and take advantage of the opportunity to continue their football development in Dubai.
Vice President of Abu Dhabi Football Academy, Usman Abubakar Chata, expressed appreciation to Yusuf for supporting the players and helping to ease their transition to the new club.
He described the intervention as timely, noting that it would provide the young footballers with an opportunity to further develop their careers and gain valuable experience in the professional game.
The gesture underscores Yusuf’s support for youth development and his commitment to helping young football talents maximise opportunities within and beyond Nigeria.
With the six players now in Dubai and already training with their new team, attention turns to their continued development and prospects in the UAE football scene.
