NC23.
Novaclava23, also known as NC23, was founded by a team from the Netherlands, bringing with them a deep-rooted understanding of European football culture and youth development.
Their vision was to create a selective, performance-driven academy in the UAE that mirrors the structure and standards of professional youth systems in Europe. With a focus on long-term player development, international exposure, and professional pathways, NC23 is built for ambitious players who want more than just training — they want a future in football.
In the UAE, NC23 provides
its players with an
unrivalled experience
and opportunity
Proven Pathway
Inspired by Europe’s top feeder clubs, NC23 is a small, selective academy built for disciplined, committed, and ambitious players.Â
We maintain strong connections with clubs, coaches, and agents across Europe, giving players access to high-intensity tours, trials, and scouting opportunities. NC23 teams compete in Dubai’s top youth division.
Our training model mirrors that of professional academies, combining technical work, positional play, strength conditioning, and specialized sessions for goalkeepers, defenders, and attackers.
We also enhance player visibility through targeted social media exposure, helping connect talent to the right opportunities.
