The N-Youth League Cup Foundation is the charitable and social impact arm of the N-Youth League Cup, established to ensure that no talented young athlete is denied opportunity because of financial hardship, social barriers, or lack of access to quality development programs.
We leverage the power of football to create positive social change by investing in education, life skills development, health and wellbeing, leadership training, and grassroots football development. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, compete, grow, and achieve their full potential.
To become Africa's leading football-for-development foundation, empowering young people through sport, education, and opportunity.
To remove barriers preventing talented young athletes from accessing football, education, leadership development, and life-changing opportunities.
