Mehran Rowshan Training a New Generation of Footballers
For people passionate about football, it goes beyond kicking a ball on a field. Football is a lifestyle — one that molds people into icons and respectable personalities. Mehran Rowshan has been about that lifestyle all his life, and he is now dedicating his life’s work to the sport. Born into a sporting family in Tehran, Mehran Rowshan has known football his entire life. His grandfather was one of the founding members of TaJ, one of the biggest football clubs in Asia. His uncle is an Iranian football hero who remains the only player to have scored a goal in the World Cup, Olympics, and Asian Cup competitions. Establishing Alliance Football Club was a no-brainer for Mehran because he was only advancing his family’s name and upholding the legacy the Rowshan name stands for in Asian football.
Mehran himself set out to be a footballer, but a severe knee injury put an end to his dreams. He remained hell-bent on being a part of football, and that spurred him to pursue a professional coaching career. He wanted to make a difference in football, so he began to look for ways to make the sport more impactful and rewarding. At 22, he began his journey into professional coaching, and today, that journey has taken him through England, Spain, Portugal, Holland, and Dubai.
With a university degree in Economics and Management, Mehran Rowshan has built one of the most revolutionary football training institutes, which focuses on not just building players but also on making the world better as a whole and instilling a positive perspective about football. He is well-known in Dubai as a top football coach discovering players and building sustainable, successful careers on and off the field. Alliance Football Club has trained more than 10,000 players since it was established, and Mehran ensured the club focuses on the players’ football skills, IQ, and real-life skills to help them navigate the real-life issues they might encounter.
The football club’s mission is to help passionate players pursue their dreams and make the most of them. Building on his family’s legacy, Mehran Rowshan has taken football from faraway Tehran to become a globally recognized multiple FA-qualified coach. He co-founded Arsenal Soccer School in Dubai in 2009 before Alliance Football Club came to life in 2015. Now, his focus is on training young children, teenagers, and adults to play football professionally. He also puts them through nutrition and psychological training, coaching, mentorship, etc. Mehran develops unique football drills that are not available anywhere else to make sure his players maintain top form every day in training and matches.
Mehran Rowshan’s strong belief in expressive developmental methods has been put on display at Alliance Football Club. His players have the best environment to develop their skills while being furnished with all the necessary resources to make the world a better place, such as the club’s commitment to keeping the environment clean and sustainable through the personalized bag and bottle that every player gets. Alliance Football Club is not only a football club that brings out the best in people; Mehran has ensured it also gives back to the earth positively.
