Why Aberdeen FC?
Aberdeen FC, known by their fans as The Dons, were founded in 1903 and are located in the North East of Scotland. Playing the Scottish Premier League, Aberdeen has a proven track record of developing and promoting youth through their World Class Academy.
The greatest manager of all time, Sir Alex Ferguson, took over Aberdeen FC and led them to both a Cup Winners Cup and a Super Cup in 1983 as they became the best club in Europe!
Aberdeen FC, through their Community Trust (AFCCT) were also recently recognized by Europe’s governing body UEFA as the 2019 UEFA Grassroots Award for Best Professional Club!
This prestigious award recognizes the club’s engagement with over 20,000 people in projects centered on three main theme:
Football for life
Education
Healthy Communities
They have partnered with not only the Scottish Football Association (SFA), but also 6 local grassroots clubs, 13 partner schools and a number of other charities and organizations to bring a community focused vision to around 10% of the entire population of Scotland!
All these values played a massive part in Allstars United’s decision to work with Aberdeen FC.
We feel their love of not only the game, but their community at all ages, abilities and situations make our partnership a perfect match!
In addition to the work we do on the field, we plan on combining both organizations expertise in community work, academic and athletic development to provide everyone in both of our communities with the most beneficial experience possible!
