Case Studies
Ahmed
17, Riyadh
Ahmed joined BIFA’s 4-week Elite Residency in Manchester. After technical assessments and integration into academy-level sessions, he scored twice in a showcase fixture against a UK youth side. His performance dossier was sent to multiple clubs, and he returned for a second residency that led to an extended trial with a Championship academy.
His father noted:
We always knew where Ahmed was, what he was eating, and how he was performing. BIFA made us feel as if he was already a professional.”
