about us

Empowering Talent

SACF was established in 2014 to ensure that intelligent indigent children across Nigeria, who have been identified as talented football players are able to pursue the twin objectives of a good quality education and exposure to the best training and skills development possible.


Over the years, we have had events across the country and have enabled over 100 children (aged 12 - 15 years) remain in school by sponsoring their education and related needs while also nurturing their football skills. SACF has partnered with Courage Education Foundation (co-founded by Mr Seyi Akinwunmi) to sponsor the education of over 200 children in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions and has recently produced our first 1st Class Degree holder amongst its growing pull of 7 graduates and 47 undergraduates.


Our project has bridged the gap between the rich and the less privileged. We have been able to bring together children from different ethnic groups. We have organized tournaments for children from various ethnic backgrounds thereby promoting unity, love, peace, fairness and equality.
