Our Partners

For every sport offered at Aspire Academy, there exists a programme coordinated and run in close consultation as well as ongoing monitoring and development with the corresponding national association or federation. Student-athletes regularly swap the Aspire Academy colours for the maroon stripe of Qatar national teams in different sports during various international competitions.

International Presence

CULTURAL Y DEPORTIVA LEONESA

CULTURAL Y DEPORTIVA LEONESA

In 2015, Aspire Academy took up a majority stake of Spanish third division club, Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa with the same goals and objective as the K.A.S. Eupen arrangement.

An important relationship is being built with Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa where several professional players who are Aspire graduates continue to develop within Europe’s football culture.

K.A.S. EUPEN

K.A.S. EUPEN

Aspire Zone Foundation became the owner of K.A.S. Eupen, a Belgian professional football club that currently plays in the top tier Belgian league (Jupiler Pro League), in June 2012. The acquisition serves an important role in the philosophy of Aspire Academy and functions as a stepping stone for Aspire's Qatari players, as well as 'Aspire Football Dreams' scholarship players to guarantee a smooth and successful transition from youth to professional football.

Everything at K.A.S. Eupen conforms to the Aspire philosophy of educating champions in sport and in life. This is the next stage in the training of our young players. The club offers the perfect opportunity for players to make the jump from junior to adult football and to learn what it means in a practical sense to be a professional player.
