Promoting a healthy lifestyle through football
Playing sport is an important part of achieving fitness and managing health. That's why participation sports, such as football, are vital to the nation's future. Koora Time is an award-winning initiative designed to improve the health and wellbeing of young people in Qatar through football, the most popular sport in the country.
Koora Time is a community-based initiative that uses football as a platform to promote a healthy and active lifestyle among young Qataris, by facilitating access to more hours of physical activity and more opportunities and spaces to play.
Koora Time is unique! It's the only Football and Education programme in Qatar.
Facilitating access to more hours of physical activity for 7-16 years olds:
Koora Time is an extra-curricular school programme based on FC Barcelona Foundation's FutbolNet methodology, which promotes a healthy, active lifestyle through noncompetitive football. Plus, starting in season 8, the programme will teach basic football skills based on methods developed by Aspire Academy. Working together with Aspire Academy is a great opportunity for the participants, as Aspire will be scouting them during training sessions.
