Former Yemeni national team goalkeeper, Tareq Rubban added sporting glamour at the final match of the current Arab league tournament.
The football star, revered by many young people from the Arab community offered his coaching skills to the youngsters of Burngreave and Fir Vale.
The contest, which consisted of six teams from the wider Arab community, took place at the Fir Vale sport centre in late June.
The event was organised by the Arab Youth Club, a project within the Yemeni Education and Relief Organisation (YERO) aimed at bringing young people together and nurturing their talents.
Project Manager at YERO, Abdo Naqeeb said: “It was a fantastic evening of football that bought together many youngsters.”
