Our vision

EDUCATION FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE

WAFA has a well structured football system aimed at empowering talented African youths ages 13 to 20 through a combination of professional guidance and comprehensive education. We believe in nurturing not only football skills but also personal and academic growth. Hundreds of football players from Africa took their first steps at WAFA on their way to football clubs all over the world. By instilling values such as discipline, teamwork, and resilience, we prepare our young talents for success both on and off the field.
