ACC Applauds FIFA President on Groundbreaking Initiative

The African Coaches Connect (ACC) has expressed its deepest gratitude to FIFA President Gianni Infantino for launching a pioneering initiative aimed at empowering children and creating a lasting impact through sport, social development, and interactions.

The initiative, which includes the installation of 1,000 mini-pitches worldwide, is a significant step forward in providing new opportunities for young people and communities to engage with football.

ACC Founder and President, Eldred Sunju-Abbey, emphasized the organization’s commitment to ensuring that the facilities are utilized for their intended purpose – empowering young people, communities, and promoting football development.

He stressed the importance of a transparent and inclusive management structure to oversee the use of the facilities, guaranteeing they benefit the community, not just personal or group interests.

“Football should be for the masses, not just a privileged few. The ACC looks forward to working closely with FIFA and stakeholders to guarantee that the facilities contribute to the growth and development of football in Africa.”

The ACC has highlighted the need for a robust maintenance and compliance structure to ensure the long-term success of the project.

The organization remains committed to collaborating with FIFA to build a brighter future for football and its enthusiasts, while contributing to the development of the African continent.
