GYFA X GOGY
Our boys academy in The Gambia is excited to announce that we are expanding our support to include girls who are eager to play and excel in sports. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to pursue their passion. By providing these valuable resources, we aim to empower girls and foster a more inclusive and equal playing field in The Gambia.
Off the field support
At GYFA, our dedication extends beyond our football goals and objectives. We have a strong commitment to making a positive impact on the communities we serve. Our efforts go beyond the field, as we aim to assist our trainees and other young individuals in The Gambia. We prioritize their present well-being, and also provide support for their future aspirations. This includes initiatives such as distributing food packages to families in need, covering the costs of educational courses, and offering valuable work experience opportunities. Our ambition is to continue this important work while ensuring the holistic development of our beneficiaries.
Events in the U.K.
Events in The Gambia
GYFA host events in the UK—including but not limited to; art exhibitions, comedy shows, and football tournaments. These events not only raise essential funds but also raise awareness and build bridges between UK and Gambian communities. By engaging the public through art, sport, and entertainment, we aim to foster cross-cultural understanding and highlight both the challenges and potential of Gambian youth.
GYFA have organised and held a number of exciting and well-structured tournaments throughout The Gambia, consistently promoting the core values of fair play, youth engagement, and overall community development. These carefully planned and thoughtfully executed events have been instrumental in fostering teamwork, discipline, and positive personal growth among young participants. Additionally, these tournaments have served as important platforms for exposure, where trainees have been scouted and signed by professional clubs.
“With the support from Lusaka, we have been able to serve our students better than ever.”
— Alonzo F., School Principal
