In a nation bursting with raw football talent, the challenge has never been in finding gifted players — but in developing them the right way. That’s where the Femi Ajilore Football Clinic (FAFC) stands out.
Founded by former Super Eagles player and seasoned European professional Femi Ajilore, FAFC offers a rare blend of tactical training, psychological mentoring, and personal development that transforms young athletes into leaders, both on and off the field.
Unlike many football academies that focus solely on performance, FAFC builds its training around a holistic model. The academy emphasizes five pillars: Skill, Intelligence, Discipline, Fitness, and Character. Every player is expected to excel not just in dribbling and passing but in teamwork, leadership, and humility.
The FAFC Elite Development Program prepares top-tier talents for international trials and national team call-ups, while the Goalkeeper Clinic offers specialized training rarely available at grassroots level. The academy also offers Football & Education Programs, ensuring that young players don’t have to choose between school and sport — they thrive in both.
In just a few years, FAFC has earned recognition from the FCT FA, engaged in international collaborations, and won multiple youth championships — including the Under-8 Kids Soccer League in 2023, where FAFC emerged victorious among eight teams in a grueling home-and-away contest.
Yet, despite these accolades, FAFC’s biggest success may be this: building responsible, confident, and disciplined young Nigerians who understand that success isn’t just about scoring goals — it’s about staying true to the values of integrity, focus, and hard work.
FAFC isn’t just creating footballers — it’s creating role models.
