Aspire Academy (Arabic: أكاديمية أسباير, romanized: Akādīmiyat 'Asbāyr) is a sports academy based in the Aspire Zone in Qatar,[1] founded in 2004 with the goal to scout and help develop Qatari athletes, whilst also providing them with secondary school education.

Despite the switch from an independent government body to an SBU, the original purpose and objectives of the Aspire Academy remained the same.

In August 2017, Spanish side Atlético Astorga FC announced links with Aspire Academy.

[11] In September 2023, the Aspire Academy and Qatar Football Association (QFA) signed a cooperation agreement to further develop the coaching education system and enhance their joint expertise.

[14][15] With the same Aspire players, the senior side managed to win the nation's first ever AFC Asian Cup in the 2019 edition.
