FIFA Football for Schools Mobile app available for stakeholders

2 years ago

The FIFA Football for Schools free digital application (Football for Schools) is accessible to the General Public via Google Play and the Apple App Store.

The Mobile app provides an online learning platform with relevant content for all stakeholders of the programme.

The Football for Schools Programme which was launched in Ghana on August 12 seeks to make football more accessible to both boys and girls around the world by incorporating football activities into the education system.

As part of the launch, the GFA worked with the Ministry of Education, the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Ministry of Youth and Sports to train Fifty Physical Education teachers selected from across the country to benefit children between the ages of 4 - 14 years.

The 50 selected Physical Education Teachers were trained by three FIFA Specialists at the Ghanaman Centre of Excellence in Prampram while 100 school children were present for the practical sessions at the Tema Newtown Astro turf.

3000 schools from across every region of the country will also receive footballs as part of the programme.

The trained teachers are expected to train other Physical Education Teachers in their respective Districts and Regions for the enhancement of the programme.

This project forms part of the GFA's quest to develop all aspects of the game and to ensure that members are duly supported by FIFA to boost capacity.

South African Football Association (Safa) president Danny Jordaan on Wednesday welcomed educators from all over the country at the Safa Technical Centre in Johannesburg South.

The educators are attending the inaugural Fifa Football for Schools Programme, which aims at reviving schools sports and producing talents from schools both male and female.

Safa, along with the department of sports, arts and culture as well as the department of basic education have joined hands in this initiative to have players who went through this programme to be playing for both the senior men and female national teams by 2030.

“In football you plan for four years, from one World Cup to the next. We had Vision 2022, which ends with the Qatar World Cup in December. The next four years is 2022 to 2026 and a major focus of Vision 2030, which has two phases, Phase One (2022 to 2026) and Phase Two (2026 to 2030), and we have to talk about where this programme fits in terms of the future of South African football,” said Jordaan.

Programme director Fatimata Sow Sidibe said she is happy to be in the country and says it is vital to prepare the future stars now that could one day see African nations and clubs reaching the Fifa tournament’s finals.

“We are happy to be here because the president (Jordaan) mentioned that in Africa we should have players and clubs going to the final of the World Cup. We have to be prepared, we have to be prepared now and we have to prepare the future generations.”

The programme is expected to end on Friday.
