At the SPIA Awards 2025 in Abu Dhabi, one of the most respected events celebrating excellence in sport across the region, Juventus Academy Dubai & Sharjah was awarded the Silver Medal for Best Youth Sports Program in the Middle East. Among more than 500 sport leaders, decision-makers, organizations, and innovators, the Academy stood out as the only football program on the podium, a testament to its enduring impact and leadership in youth football.

This achievement adds to a growing list of accolades: Best Youth Sports Organization in the Middle East (2024 and 2019) and another second place in 2023.

These recognitions mark an exceptional decade for the Academy, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2025.

Since its launch in 2015, Juventus Academy Dubai & Sharjah has grown significantly and now trains over 1,500 young players aged 4 to 17 each year, guided by a team of qualified coaches mainly from Italy, and following the globally recognized Juventus methodology.

Looking ahead, FFG Sports Management, Juventus’ long-standing partner in the UAE, will officially extend its agreement for another five years during the upcoming Juventus Academy World Cup (9–13 June 2025), ensuring a new generation of football continuity, ambition, and growth for years to come.
