Aspire Zone Foundation Hosts the 11th AlKass International Cup U17

We, at Aspire Zone Foundation, are extremely proud and delighted to be partners and hosts of the 11th edition of the prestigious Al Kass International Cup U-17. Our commitment and passion for football as a sporting organization puts us at the heart of sports events across the country as strategic partners and sports business professionals.

This year’s edition is even more significant for us at AZF, as it comes immediately after hosting a very successful FIFA U-17 World Cup on our premises in November 2025. The tournament was not only the first one to feature 48 teams but also the first to be played entirely at one sporting campus, and we are looking forward to the next four editions over the next four years.

Alongside our strategic partners, Alkass Sports Channels, the Qatar Football Association, and Qatar Energy, we are pleased to welcome 8 top clubs and academies from Asia, Africa and Europe for the 11th edition of this tournament.

At AZF, we strongly believe in developing talented youth footballers, and we are proud to be recognised as a sporting destination for elite athletes. We continue to strive to attract more sportsmen and women from around the globe to train  at our  premises, make use of our world-class facilities, and benefit from our vast experience in hosting international events.

The organization of this prestigious competition also allows players from Aspire Academy, an integral part of our sports eco-system, the chance to compete at the highest level with teams from different parts of the globe as they gain experience and develop their skills, as they compete for a place in Qatar’s  national squad for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup 2026 here in Aspire Academy.
