Empowering the Next Generation Through Passion, Purpose, and Play
In the bustling capital city of Abuja, a quiet revolution in football development is underway. At the heart of it is the Femi Ajilore Football Clinic (FAFC) — a grassroots initiative that is transforming the lives of young athletes through structured training, mentorship, and international-standard coaching.
Founded in 2019 by ex-Super Eagles midfielder and Olympic silver medalist Mr. Femi Ajilore, FAFC has become a beacon for aspiring footballers aged 5 to 18. Ajilore, who had a stellar football career across Nigeria and Europe, returned home with a vision — to create an institution that doesn’t just teach kids how to play football, but helps them live the game with purpose, discipline, and ambition.
FAFC’s philosophy is simple but profound: football is more than just a game — it’s a pathway to a better life. With an emphasis on personal development, academic balance, and elite-level training, FAFC is helping young boys and girls transform into intelligent, technical, and mentally tough players.
Over the past five years, the academy has trained over 1,200 children, produced standout talents who’ve gone on to national youth camps, and forged international trial opportunities in Europe and Asia. Parents praise the academy not just for its coaching quality, but for instilling values of teamwork, respect, and resilience in their children.
FAFC is proof that the future of Nigerian football doesn’t start in stadiums — it begins on training grounds like these, where young hearts are fueled by dreams, and where tomorrow’s heroes are molded with care and commitment.
