Bringing the Joy of the Beautiful Game to Kids in Africa

Pho3nix Kids Football Kicks Off in Rwanda

In partnership with African Parks, The Pho3nix Kids Football program in Rwanda, offers free football training to young players aged 5 to 16.

Every weekend, these children take to the pitch at two African Parks locations: Gisovu and Gisakura, nestled in the heart of Nyungwe National Park, the only intact rainforest in Rwanda. This initiative opens doors for athletic growth, fosters new friendships, and most importantly, celebrates the pure joy of sport. Through this partnership, Pho3nix Kids Football expands to more communities, leveraging African Parks’ facilities to create a safe and structured environment for learning and play.

  • Teamwork: Encouraging collaboration and fostering camaraderie among players.
