More than football. Values for life

Countless programs, one community. Join Abu Dhabi's favourite community football organisation.

Our purpose

Our purpose is to use sport as the vehicle to develop lifelong values in our athletes. That is what we mean by “More than football. Values for life.”

Our story

From 25 players on a Friday to 1,200 every week

PASS Abu Dhabi began in 2012 with 25 children and one hour of football a week.

Our founder, Seth Amoafo, a former Manchester United and Chelsea community coach, started with a single Friday session. PASS was formally established in 2015, and today we coach every day at venues across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, for more than 1,200 boys and girls each week.

Along the way we set up the first and largest non-government football league in Abu Dhabi, and since 2014 we have run a free weekly session for People of Determination, the longest-running of its kind.
