Our aim is to empower the youth of South Africa for a better life. We strive to develop quality players, have the knowledge and life skills to help them lead a healthy productive life and assist in enabling a positive impact in their communities.

We have been working closely with the same kids from the ages 6 -16 years for the last 5 years, experiencing the trials tribulations as well as the transformation. Football is as much their passion as it is ours.

Sport is an important tool in unifying people, and this is where we create and experience magical moments. We focus on morals and values and applying it on a daily basis but also give them experiences that is magical and would not have had an opportunity to experience within their reality. We aim to mould the youth into strong, self-efficient, driven young adults.

The vision of we love football academy is to guide the kids with hope & passion for a better future. Our aim is to develop their skill set and knowledge. Building opportunities on and off the field and teaching them life skills, looking after their health and creating a platform where they can take responsibility!
