Right to Dream Academy has been named Best Academy at the 2025 Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, cementing its reputation as one of the world’s leading football development centres.
Chairman Sir Mohamed Mansour praised the academy’s unique approach, which combines elite football training with formal education and leadership development.
“What makes it unique is the ability for players, young players, boys and girls, to get both an education and sport,” Mansour said. “And today, we have over 200 players preparing for professional football around the world.”
The academy also invests heavily in academics, with scholarships valued at $30 million for top universities, including Ivy League schools.
Mansour described the academy’s mission as “very special,” giving young people “a chance to dream. What can bring more dreams than soccer?”
