What is the PDP?
PDP stands for Professional Development Programme. Dubai Irish FC’s public announcement describes a four-week assessment for players aged 18 and over, with residential and non-residential options in a professional first-team environment. Ask the club how that assessment relates to the intake and programme length you choose.

This CREZA listing describes a male, 18+ opportunity at the JA Centre of Excellence in Jebel Ali, Dubai, with dates to confirm directly. Check those details with the organiser before planning travel. Taking part in an assessment does not establish a selection decision or a professional contract.

Prepare a useful first application
Make it easy for the programme team to understand your starting point. The following checklist is CREZA’s preparation guidance; the club sets its own requirements.
- Explain your football background. List your current or most recent team, positions, playing level and recent match experience. Use dates so your timeline is easy to follow.
- Share accessible footage. Choose a short highlight link, identify yourself clearly and include recent match context. Check that the video opens without requesting access.
- Set out your availability. Note your preferred programme length, possible arrival window and whether you need accommodation. Keep tentative plans separate from confirmed arrangements.
- Prepare your questions. Ask what the fees include, how assessment works, which training facilities are used and what happens after the programme. Request the current terms in writing.
- Keep your details consistent. Use the same name and contact address across your application, sports CV and CREZA profile. Only attach materials you want the listing manager and Dubai Irish FC to review.
