DUBAI // The Dubai Sports Council's Over 38 team have an ace up their sleeve as they aim to progress to the knockout stages of the 7 Up Dubai Government Entities Football League - Fifa's Player of the Century.

Fans can attend the matches at the Police Officers Club tonight and for the quarter-finals on Saturday, with games and special areas set up for children, and the chance to win a Chevrolet car on the final day. * Agency Follow us
