What people have to say
We’ve spent the best part of ten days here, and it’s been a truly positive experience from a football perspective. The most important aspect of any camp is ensuring the right outcomes on the pitch—tactically, technically, and in maintaining players’ health and fitness levels. But achieving that is only possible in the right environment. The hotel was outstanding, and the support and organization provided by CBF team were exceptional. These are not easy things to plan and execute, and CBF delivered flawlessly.
Steven Gerrard
The training camp has been top-class, thanks to CBF. It’s always important to find the right facilities, the right training pitches, the right environment & this is everything you would want. Overall, the training camp has been absolutely superb.
Brendan Rodgers
A huge thank you to CBF and its staff for making the camp so professional and seamless. The facilities, service and level of detail was first class, and CBF and its team were a pleasure to deal with. We would have no hesitation of coming through CBF again next year.

GARY O’NEIL
The experience we had in Dubai was incredible from start to finish. We were there for an extended period of time doing our pre-season and had our every need catered for. Their expertise in the region combined with the professionalism of their staff meant that our training camp in Dubai ran smoothly and was the perfect perfect prepration for the new season.
