Qatar Football Association (QFA) and Qatar Shell recently organised a two-day coaching clinic in preparation for the launch of the fourth season of Il’Ab We’Yana, an extra-curricular football programme targeted at boys and girls aged 7-16 years. Il’Ab We’Yana is based on FC Barcelona Foundation’s FutbolNet methodology and provides children with an extra 100 hours of extra-curricular physical education.
Over 45 local coaches from the QFA and Qatar Women’s Sports Committee, including Qatari men and women, attended the seminar. The seminar focused on six teaching modules that address healthy living.
Il’Ab We’Yana is part of the award-winning Koora Time initiative created by QFA and Qatar Shell. Since its launch in 2013, Koora Time has received three accolades that recognise the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative’s positive impact on Qatar. The awards include the ‘2014 AFC Dream Asia Award’, ‘Best Youth Development Initiative’ at the 2014 Sports Industry Awards, and ‘Best Sports Initiative’ at the 2014 Dar Al Sharq CSR Awards.
