Future Lions launch African Hub
Kenya has fast become a key location for Future Lions, and with huge success not only with the recent signing of Otieno Pala to Premier League side SofaPaka FC, but also last season with Future Lion Max Kering getting into the u21 International Selection to represent his country. With this in mind, it was logical that we explored the possibilities of opening up this pathway for young talented footballers from the region not just directly in Kenya itself but also to surrounding countries such as Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia, Rwanda and Botswana.
Future Lions is delighted to announce that we can now make appointments for players and parents/guardians to meet with Future Lions African Development Coordinator, George Opiyo. Opiyo himself was a professional goalkeeper who played for Sofapaka FC and he said “My dream has always been to see talented African players make it to the top leagues in Europe, something that in the past was not easy, but with the introduction of Future Lions in Africa players have the chance to join our academies in the UK; Spain; USA and China and the opportunity to be coached by our professional coaches and watched by top football agents. Personally, I'm so happy to be working with Future Lions and I’m looking forward to helping as many players as possible join our academies across Africa.“
So if you are from the region and wish to make an appointment to meet with George to discuss how you can become a Future Lion, or you need help convincing your parents that our programme is the right one for you, then please contact George now by e-mailing [email protected] to make an appointment.
