That’s because three Premier League icons – supported by a team of UEFA-licensed coaches – are coming to Dubai to lead the popular kids’ camp this October half-term.
Ex-Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester United and Stoke City striker Michael Owen will be joined by former Chelsea defender Gary Cahill and ex-Southampton forward Shane Long.
Football Escapes will run from Monday October 16 to Friday October 20, then Monday October 23 to Friday October 27 and Monday October 30 to Friday November 3.
Daily football sessions will run from 10am to 12pm and are open to boys and girls of all skill levels, aged 5-15. A five-day course will cost Dhs3,150.
What’s more, everyone involved will receive their own kit alongside a signed certificate, medal and personalised video message from one of the players.
