Training 4U GmbH (Dübendorf)

Training 4U was founded in 2018 by ex-Swiss professional footballer Abed Dakouri. After some injuries forced his early retirement from a promising world-class career. During his early career, Abed was praised for having the necessary skills of a player ready for a possible breakthrough into world-class soccer. Abed came through the academy of Grasshoppers Club Zürich (GCZ) in Zurich, Switzerland.

At the age of 16, Abed was already a member of GCZ's 1st team. After a series of career-ending knee injuries, Abed decided to end his professional career at 21 and quickly turned to his other passion, coaching and mentoring the next generation of elite soccer players. His services were in high demand in the Swiss soccer community and led to his dual appointment as technical director of the academy at Swiss Promotion League club SC YF Juventus. After two successful years, he accepted the opportunity as head coach of GCZ's U-14.

Under renowned coaches, the two had the opportunity to learn from the best in the country. Among them: Bruno Labadia, Ciriaco Sforza, Murat Yakin, Hans Peter Latour, Patrick Rahmen, Torsten Fink, Carlos Bernegger.

The immediate success of Training 4U galvanized the professional soccer community not only in Zurich, but nationwide in Switzerland, which quickly led to the expansion of Training 4U. The group of elite players who train under Training 4U includes Swiss internationals such as Fabian Frei, Ricardo Rodriguez, Silvan Widmer, professionals such as Charyl Chapuis, Alfred Duncan, the Ajeti brothers, Cephas Malele, Davide Mariani, Janik Haberer. In addition, Training 4U's clients include a large number of youth talents from top Swiss Super League clubs, including active women's professional players, boys' and girls' academy players from elite clubs.
