KCCA FC will hold the second edition of holiday football program to ignite the desire for football among youth footballers. The program will take place at MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo on Wednesday, December 4th, 2024.
Just like the objective for the first edition held in August, the program will provide a platform for aspiring football players to hone their skills under the guidance of experienced coaches.
The age category eligible for the program has been maintained from three (3) to seventeen (17) years for both boys and girls.
The primary objective of the KCCA FC Soccer Academy Holiday Program is to identify and nurture young football talent by providing a structured and engaging learning environment.
The football program starts on Wednesday, 4th December 2024, from 8 am to 12 pm. The program will take a break during the festive season from 19th December 2024 until 5th January 2025 and then resume on 6th January until 31st January 2025.
Each participant will pay a 300,000 UGX fee for the holiday football program, with the academy kit costing 100,000 UGX.
“We are excited to host the second edition of the KCCA FC Soccer Academy Holiday Football Program. The first edition was a success, and we are looking forward to a better edition than the previous one,” Anisha Shahir Muhoozi, CEO, KCCA FC says
“We welcome the children back for holidays and want to continue to be part of the youngsters’ journey as they pursue a football career. Like the first edition, the football program focuses on playing football and the importance of cooperation, discipline, and fair play for a footballer.”
“Our dream is to have as many players groomed from our academy straight into our senior team, as we recently saw with youngster Brian Ijara, our academy player who featured for the senior team in a league game against the Maroons and played well.”
