“At axiom, we are eager to find the leaders of tomorrow through all walks of life,” said Faisal Al Bannai, CEO, axiom. “The passion and skill we observed during the second phase of the Stars of Tomorrow Football league illustrated the great potential of today’s youth in becoming athletic ambassadors of the UAE.”
"It was great seeing Stars of Tomorrow, a concept we built at Ahdaaf, finally come to life and being the first pan emirates football league in the UAE joining both public and private schools in one competition. A thank you must go to our partners axiom and our team at Ahdaaf for running the whole project and making it a successful reality. Finally, I'd like to also thank our supporting partners Dubai Sports Council and KHDA for their support," said Anas Bukhash, Managing Partner, Ahdaaf Sports Club.
