Future Stars Academy

The Project

The Future Stars Academy (FSA) was founded by Alfred Itaeli in 2009. This non-profit organization helps to empower young children and teenagers both physically and mentally, through sport. FSA provides football training, competitions, and tournaments for young people aged 4 to 20 years old. The Future Stars Academy gives these young people a chance to build their football and life skills, which can continue to support and empower them in later years.

Testimonials

“Ever since I was little, my heart has been beating for soccer. I was all the more excited when I saw that I could actually combine this passion with my plan to explore the world. The Future Star project appealed to me right from the start and contact was established fast and easily. The organization of the volunteer work was done quickly thanks to the great help of Viva Tanzania and so I was on the plane to the south earlier than expected. My first day in the project was already a complete success, I was warmly welcomed by everyone and had a lot of fun teaching the children new tricks with the ball. The next few weeks flew by and it was wonderful to see how everyone slowly became a great team. During my time there, we not only played soccer but also organized competitions with other teams, set up the office, created flyers to promote the project to other interested parties and promoted the project's social media pages. I would never have thought that a soccer project in Tanzania could give me so much back and teach me so much for life. The time was over far too quickly! Asante Sana my friends!”
