Day 1 - Kicking Off in Style

After a day of travel and a well-deserved night’s rest at the beautiful Lapita Hotel, we’ve kicked off our football-filled day in style. Training with the exceptional Precision Football Academy, we're honing our skills and pushing our limits before diving into their state-of-the-art Footlab. The energy is high, and we can’t wait to see these boys in action as the competition heats up throughout the trip!

Day 1 - Skills, Challenges and Competition

After a great coaching session and a quick match, we made our way indoors for the exciting Tech Lab football games, where we had the chance to showcase our skills, precision, and agility across a variety of challenges. Foot Padel was a definite highlight! Afterwards, we headed upstairs to The Coterie for a delicious lunch provided by our hosts, before setting off for our first fixture of the trip.

Day 2 - Theme Park Thrills and Football Skills

Today was an action-packed day as we experienced the thrills of Motiongate! We went on all the rides, from high-speed roller coasters to immersive 3D adventures, enjoying every twist, turn, and splash along the way. We made the most of every moment, pausing only to refuel at lunch time!

As the sun set, we shifted from theme park thrills to football action. Our second fixture against Dubai Irish Football Club was fantastic. The boys played with incredible skill and determination, showcasing great teamwork and sportsmanship. The match was intense, with both sides giving their all, and it ended in a well-fought 4-4 draw. It was an evening filled with passion, camaraderie, and brilliant moments on the pitch.

A day filled with the perfect combination of adventure and sport—definitely a day to remember!

Day 3 - Slides and Shopping

The day started with a splash at Legoland Water Park, where we raced down slides, floated in the wave pool, and enjoyed the refreshing water. It was the perfect way to kick off the morning with nonstop fun and excitement.

After drying off, we made our way to Dubai Mall for an afternoon of shopping and entertainment. We wandered through endless stores, explored attractions like the Dubai Aquarium and ice rink, and took in the lively atmosphere. There was always something new to see and do, making it an unforgettable experience.

By evening, we were completely worn out but happy. From water park thrills to city adventures, it was a perfect Dubai day!

Day 4 - Fixtures and Farewells

Our final day on our Dubai football tour started early with an exciting match against Precision Football Academy. Both the Grade 9 and 10 teams displayed incredible grit, determination, and teamwork, making it a thrilling contest from start to finish. The intensity on the field was matched by moments of great skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship, culminating in well-earned victories for both JKS teams. It was a fitting way to close out our time on the pitch.

After the game, we headed back to the hotel for a final check-out before making our way to the airport for our flight back to Jeddah. Reflecting on the trip, it’s been an unforgettable experience, filled with competitive football, thrilling theme park adventures, and plenty of shopping. Most importantly, it’s been a journey packed with fun, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime.
