HTT Academy making an impact through Slum Football

Read Time: 2 minute(s)

Football can be used as a tool for significant impact on social change and the empowerment of less fortunate communities.

Help The Talent Academy recognises this and offers chances for talented individuals to exhibit their abilities and follow their passion for the sport through the Slum Football project.

The plan is to continue to help develop the future stars of Nigerian football by taking the game in a more organised fashion to the slums.

What is Slum Football?

The initiative known as HTT Slum Football has been successful in engaging and uplifting local areas, communities, and streets in Lagos, Nigeria, by utilizing the power of the beautiful game.

Help the Talent Academy is committed to the growth and unity of young and promising talent and can assist talented individuals in slum areas through the provision of football facilities, coaching, and opportunities to showcase their abilities and pursue their aspirations without any form of discrimination based on race, religion, class, or ethnicity.

The inspiration behind Slum Football

The HTTA Slum Football Initiative is inspired by the pure joy displayed by a few street kids playing an impromptu game of football in the pouring rain on a muddy field.

Their unrestrained excitement and obliviousness to the weather perfectly align with the mission, vision, and mantra of the HTT Academy, which focuses on discovery, development, and deployment.

The goal of Slum Football

This program not only teaches football skills but also includes education in valuable life skills like teamwork, leadership, and resilience, which will empower individuals in various aspects of their lives.

Slum Football will also give aspiring football players access and connections to mentors and role models who can motivate and provide guidance on their path towards becoming successful athletes.

HTT Slum Football platform will also serve as an awareness tool about the difficulties faced by slum communities and promote positive change through various events, campaigns, and media efforts.

Plan of action

HTT Academy plans to team up with local organisations, community leaders, and enthusiastic individuals who have a similar vision to us.

Through the provision of football equipment, the organisation will organise matches and tournaments, ultimately creating an inclusive and supportive atmosphere for talented and ambitious football players from different slums in Lagos, using the power of football.
