About Us
Built for the Beautiful Game
Portomina Football Academy was founded with one mission — to give every child in Ras Al Khaimah the chance to fall in love with football, develop real skills, and grow into confident young athletes.
Our Mission
More Than Just Football
We believe football is one of the most powerful tools for developing character in young people. At Portomina, we don't just teach the game — we build discipline, teamwork, resilience, and confidence. Every session is designed to challenge players on the pitch and help them grow off it.
Excellence
We hold ourselves and our players to the highest standards — in training, attitude, and effort.
Inclusion
Football is for everyone. We welcome players of all abilities and backgrounds, aged 5 to 14.
Development
Every child progresses at their own pace. Our coaches tailor sessions to bring out the best in each player.
Community
We are proud to be part of the Mina area community in Ras Al Khaimah, building bonds that go beyond the pitch.
Our Story

Today, we are proud to be one of the UAE's most dedicated youth football academies.
