Almal Real Estate Development has entered into an official partnership with United Football Club (United FC), signaling the start of a long-term collaboration designed to extend beyond traditional sponsorship and create meaningful community impact.
The UAE-based developer, known for its progressive real estate projects, said the alliance reflects its commitment to using real estate as a platform for social progress. Through this partnership, Almal aims to support United FC’s youth development initiatives, expand the club’s academy, and contribute to enhancing training facilities.
United FC, established in 2022 and based in Dubai Sports City, has rapidly built a reputation as a rising force in Emirati football. The club secured promotion to the UAEFA First Division League following an impressive 2023 season and has since invested in building a diverse squad and a fast-growing youth academy. Plans are also underway for a new stadium and broader talent pipeline.
Both Almal and United FC emphasized that the collaboration is grounded in shared values — notably inclusivity, resilience, and a commitment to empowering the next generation. The partnership will include youth engagement programs, grassroots training, and community events designed to inspire ambition both on and off the pitch.
United FC’s CEO, Ilie Cebanu, noted that the partnership will help the club accelerate its development strategy while reinforcing its multicultural and community-driven ethos.
By joining forces, Almal and United FC aim to leverage their combined strengths in real estate and sport to nurture young talent, create inclusive opportunities, and foster a sense of unity within local communities.
