Bringing Families Together and Strengthening Communities Through the Beautiful Game
Football may be played with the feet, but its true impact is felt in the heart — and that’s exactly the philosophy behind Femi Ajilore Football Clinic’s (FAFC) recent end-of-year community event in Abuja.
Held with joy and pageantry, the event brought together players, parents, coaches, and board members of the Federal Capital Territory Football Association (FCT FA) for a day filled with excitement, sweat, and celebration. But beyond the matches and medals, something more powerful was on display — the bond between families and football.
The day kicked off with friendly novelty games that saw mothers dribble, fathers score penalties, and kids cheer with pride. Aerobics sessions for adults brought laughter and healthy movement, while parents interacted with coaches to learn more about their children’s progress and potential.
FCT FA dignitaries commended FAFC’s commitment to grassroots development and acknowledged the academy as a vital partner in raising football standards in the FCT and beyond. For founder Femi Ajilore, the event was a fulfillment of his mission to use football as a tool for social cohesion, education, and emotional growth.
As children received awards for their discipline and dedication, proud parents watched with tears and smiles — not just at their kids’ football ability, but at the strong character and confidence being cultivated through FAFC’s mentorship model.
More than just an academy, FAFC is building a movement of hope and health, showing that when a child kicks a ball with passion, an entire family kicks forward with pride.
