Football

Football in ABUAD is a big community activity, involving male and female staff and students. Within the school, competitions such as ABUAD Football League (AFL), Inter college football competitions (ISF), convocation games, Interdepartmental competitions, and likes of other friendly matches are played on the main football field with an average of 100 games in a session. This excludes the matches played outside the University by the School team.

You don’t have to be on the School team to participate in most of these thrilling activities. The fact that football in ABUAD has the highest number of field areas compared to others makes a lot of students participate in it. There are two International standard football fields with six other 7–aside football fields within the University. School team training could be more intensive and may require more commitment and dedication. You can also rewrite your family history through football in ABUAD but your interest, determination, and commitment are needed in order to achieve this.
