Solutions+ has officially launched the Community Football League in Abu Dhabi, with matches kicking off on 18 November 2025 at ACTIVE Al Maryah Island.
Supported by Mubadala, the initiative reflects Solutions+’ growing commitment to strengthening community engagement, promoting healthy living, and inspiring youth to pursue sports and develop their athletic potential all in line with the UAE’s vision for a thriving sports ecosystem.
Marking the company’s first-ever sports initiative, the league stands as a major milestone for Solutions+, setting a new benchmark for community-driven sporting programs. Designed as an inclusive platform, the league empowers players of all backgrounds to come together, compete, and elevate their skills in a safe, dynamic, and motivating environment—while fostering social connections and spotlighting emerging local talent.
Abdullah Al Mansoori, Acting Head of Abu Dhabi Entertainment Company (a Solutions+ subsidiary), said:
“We are proud to debut the first sports tournament under the Solutions+ banner—an initiative built to nurture young talent and expand community participation. With more than AED 80,000 in prize money, we aim to encourage teams to develop their abilities, embrace sportsmanship, and strengthen the culture of youth sports in the UAE. This league is more than a competition—it’s a platform for learning, growth, and national pride.”
Mubadala played a vital role in championing the league’s vision by empowering youth and community members with access to high-quality sporting opportunities, promoting the importance of physical activity, and helping build a social environment where sports serve as a driver of personal growth and collective development.
The tournament brings together 32 teams from across Abu Dhabi, each featuring 12 to 20 players. With four matches played daily—totaling 20 matches per week over three months—the league promises a vibrant and energetic atmosphere that blends competition with strong community interaction.
The season opened on 18 November with four teams delivering fast-paced, high-intensity matches that electrified spectators and set the tone for what promises to be an action-packed season. The competition will run through 31 January 2026, culminating in a grand finale at the Al Jazira Club Stadium, where the top contenders will battle for the championship title in a showcase of skill, passion, and community pride.
