Coach Sameer

Sameer Aldabbagh’s soccer journey began in Amman, Jordan, where he played at a high level and was part of the Jordanian National Team youth pathway before transitioning into coaching and player development.

Sameer began coaching in the United States in 2017 and has since dedicated his career to developing youth players and coaches. He currently holds the U.S. Soccer B License, having also completed the U.S. Soccer C License.

Since 2025, Sameer has served as a U.S. Soccer Grassroots Coach Educator, contributing to the development and education of coaches through the U.S. Soccer coaching pathway.

In 2026, Sameer was selected for U.S. Soccer’s Talent Reporter Program, expanding his work into talent identification and player evaluation. He is currently completing the 2026-27 program, with the goal of contributing to the identification and reporting of emerging talent within the U.S. Soccer National Team pathway.

Sameer’s experience also extends to FIFA competitions. In 2025, he served in Team Services at the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States and was recognized as a Most Valuable Volunteer for his contribution to the tournament. He was subsequently selected to serve at the FIFA World Cup 2026, supporting Volunteer Management.

Sameer’s coaching philosophy is player-centered. He believes the player should always be at the center of the learning environment. His goal is to create an environment where players are challenged, encouraged to make decisions, solve problems, express themselves, and take ownership of their development. While technical and tactical development are important, Sameer also focuses on developing confident, intelligent, resilient, and respectful players who understand the game and continue to grow both on and off the field.
