Our vision
Our journey is about much more than just football—it’s about creating opportunities for every child.
Transforming African Football, One Child at a Time
At SCM Academy, our vision is to build a brighter future for African youth through the power of football. We believe in the transformative potential of the sport to not only develop elite athletes but to shape well-rounded individuals who will become leaders and role models in their communities.
Our journey is about much more than just football—it’s about creating opportunities for every child, regardless of their background, and using the beautiful game as a tool for education, empowerment, and community development.
From Grassroots to Academy and Beyond
Our vision starts at the grassroots level. Through our partnership with Sport Creates Memories (SCM), we’ve already established 90 football clubs and engaged over 9,000 children in Ghana and Kenya. These clubs provide an inclusive space for children to come together, play football, and experience the joy and life lessons that come from being part of a team.
For us, football is not just for those who can afford it—it’s for everyone. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to ensure that every child, no matter their financial situation, has access to the game and the opportunities it brings.
Football as a Force for Social Change
Full Scholarships for Talented Youth
We provide full scholarships covering football training, education, accommodation, and meals—ensuring that no child is held back by financial barriers.
Sustainable Model for Impact
Our for-profit academy reinvests revenue into grassroots football, creating a self-sustaining cycle that expands opportunities for children across Africa.
Holistic Development Approach
We focus on developing the whole individual, nurturing leadership, teamwork, and personal growth alongside elite football skills.
Inclusive Football Communities
Through our partnership with SCM, we’ve created 90 clubs where every child is welcome—no matter their background or skill level.
Empowering Future Role Models
Our goal is to not only produce top-tier footballers but also to cultivate role models who will inspire and uplift their communities.
Developing Africa’s Next Football Stars
Through SCM Academy, we aim to identify and nurture the most talented players from our grassroots clubs, offering them a pathway to elite football development. Our academy provides full scholarships covering football training, education, accommodation, and meals—all at no cost to the players or their families. We are committed to creating a supportive environment where talent can flourish.
But our vision doesn’t stop there. SCM Academy operates as a sustainable, for-profit venture, with revenue from player transfers reinvested back into our grassroots programs. This allows us to continue expanding our reach, ensuring that more children across Africa have the opportunity to benefit from football, whether they dream of becoming professionals or simply want to be part of something bigger than themselves
