VOICED: Academy fosters young footballers through education

The Diambars Academy in South Africa aims to develop young football talent while providing a comprehensive education. Students balance football training with academics, facing challenges like fatigue but adapting to the unique environment. Founded by professional footballers, the project uses football as a means to educate, with the hope of producing professional players. However, the primary goal is to equip students with skills for life success. Despite financial challenges in Africa, students dream of playing professionally in Europe, with a five-year window to achieve their goals, supported by a solid educational foundation.
