Nambale Secondary School in Busia gears up to host a joint FIFA Women’s Football Campaign (WFC) and Football For Schools (F4S) program event on Saturday, August 10, 2024.
This event marks the 6th rollout of the WFC program in Kenya with previous editions in Nairobi, Nakuru, Turkana, Embu and Samburu. Meanwhile, the Football for Schools program has had roll outs in Kakamega and Embu making this the third rollout of the program.
The event brings together 30 local primary schools.
Participants will get to enjoy a football festival with numerous small sided matches designed to build on their skills through competition but also ensure a fun filled day for the girls.
Additionally, students will benefit from life skills training through special drills aimed at teaching important life lessons.
Students will also be coached by their teachers, who will soon be newly graduated CAF D license holders, thanks to their participation in the ongoing 10-day CAF D course in Busia.
Teachers will gain not only coaching knowledge but also expertise in using the Football for Schools app, which helps them coach students while imparting important life skills.
Schools will also benefit from distribution of footballs to support their training and programs.
This event is meant to provide a memorable experience for everyone involved through fun and learning.
