Football in Yemen

The first Goal Project
The association headquarters with an adjacent pitch inaugurated in Sana'a in December 2003 enables domestic and international activities to be coordinated more efficiently. The funds were supplied by Goal, the FIFA Financial Assistance Programme, national association and Government, the latter also donating the land that was needed to realise the project. The complex affords ideal facilities for training programmes, meetings, conferences and seminars. The various national teams can train for their international matches and league matches can be played on the turf pitch. The new facilities will allow the most promising talent in every age category at youth level to come together and talent spotting and training courses to be held. The association headquarters and pitch will play a key role in planning and conducting long-term development work.
