Andrés Iniesta to Launch Footballing Program Iniesta Academy in Dubai

Weeks after signing a contract to become head coach of Dubai-based Gulf FC, Barcelona legend Andrés Iniesta has added another notch to his resume in the nation. Iniesta Academy, the global footballing program founded by the midfield magician, will launch in Dubai in September. It'll be the fifth academy carrying his name worldwide, adding to an already established network spanning Japan, Spain, Kuwait and Egypt. Speaking at a launch event, Iniesta made clear that the academy will run on the same methodology that shaped one of football's greatest modern day legacies - through technically driven player development.
