Yousaf Waheed Senior Team ,  Captain

Coaching here isn’t just about tactics or trophies it’s about building people. I’ve seen kids who lacked confidence transform into leaders. I’ve watched players learn to lose gracefully, win humbly, and fight relentlessly. This club is a family. And coaching this team is the honor of my life.

Mateh ur Rahman , President and Head  Coach 

“My time as an assistant coach at the football academy was an incredible journey of growth and learning. Working closely with the head coach and staff, I helped develop training sessions, mentored players, and supported their technical and personal development. Being part of a team focused on excellence, discipline, and player growth was both rewarding and inspiring.” 

Assistant Coach ..Nasser Hussain 

“Working as an assistant coach has been deeply rewarding—guiding players through technical and mental growth, breaking down game footage to spark insight, and creating a trusting, growth-focused environment alongside the head coach. Seeing young athletes build confidence, raise their game, and develop into well-rounded individuals reaffirms why I coach.”
