During the tournament, our Under 13 boys performed exceptionally well in the group stage, securing a spot in the finals. The final match between Angaza All Stars and Ayiera Initiative in the Under 13 Boys category was nothing short of exhilarating. It truly embodied the essence of competition, determination, and sportsmanship.
The game kicked off with Ayiera Initiative taking an early lead with a finely executed goal, setting the stage for an intense showdown. However, this initial setback didn’t deter Angaza All Stars. They showed remarkable resilience and teamwork, staging a remarkable comeback.
With impressive displays of skill and tactical brilliance, Angaza All Stars not only equalized but managed to net two outstanding goals. The crowd couldn’t contain their excitement as they witnessed this thrilling turnaround. The players’ passion and unwavering dedication were evident in every move they made on the field.

The FC TrussFut team emerged as the champions in the Under 13 category for the year 2013. Additionally, our talented player, Jothan Gitonga, achieved the remarkable feat of being the top scorer among the U13 boys. It is with great joy and honor that we also presented the well-deserved trophy to the esteemed Kiambu Governor, Mr. Kimani Wamatangi at the Kiambu County Office.

In the midst of the Handball Super Cup tournament, it was the Kisumu team that ultimately emerged victorious in this two-day event. This victory proved to be a truly unique and momentous occasion, not only for the players but also for the surrounding community.

• The Bundesliga is training 35 Youth Ambassadors to use football as a tool for social change, 5 of those Youth Ambassadors are from Angaza Sports and Development Centre.
• The 1.5-year program is developed for participants in partnership with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, streetfootballworld and Transforming Young Stars of Africa
• The Bundesliga Youth Ambassadors serve as educators and role-models within their communities
• It focusses on several educational and social components, from personal development to communication for societal change, and collaborative work.

As Bundesliga Youth Ambassadors, they serve as role models and multipliers to bring about positive change in their communities. During the program, the young leaders are acquiring general football coaching capabilities and learning how to utilize the game as a tool to teach life skills and educate others on different challenges in daily life. They are influencers in their local communities and engage with their peers on social media through their shared passion for the Bundesliga

As part of a five-day kick-off event in Nairobi which started on 27 February, the young leaders joined training sessions led by TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, developed their interpersonal and life skills, and experienced the unique atmosphere of the Bundesliga games as part of an exclusive watch party on Matchday 24.

The Bundesliga is a league that always puts its fans first, bringing them together across all areas of life. The Youth Ambassador Program is an important part of the league’s unique philosophy to embrace the social dimension of football and convey the values and ideals of ‘Football as it’s meant to be’ to younger generations around the world. Since its kick-off in Kenya in February 2020, our 5 selected ambassadors and 1 mentor skills and knowledge in child-oriented football coaching through TSG Hoffenheim junior coaches, online self-paced activities.  Our five BUYA ambassadors have since been able to design a Covid-19 response project and reached 60 bodaboda riders and 210 young girls with mental health awareness messages, distributing hand sanitizers, informative reflectors, and sanitary pads as well as develop a Covid-19 awareness drill called the PROTECT THE PEOPLE drill.

From a player to a Community coach, she has not only gained football skills but also become a good life-skill facilitator able to lead sessions on Water, Hygiene and Sanitation(WASH), Peacebuilding, Gender, Reproductive health, and Covid-19 response. Esly wants to be a leader in the country in order to help empower more youth, especially young girls.

I honestly have never had two whole weeks, 14 days, in a row in my life full of love, laughter, joy, and learning with people who I had never even met before. One of my favorite games was (See, Describe &draw) where people in a group were given different roles one would see the pictures and explain to the other person who would then describe to the one supposed to draw. I was placed in a group with a lady who didn’t speak English and I don’t speak Spanish but the language barrier and the fact that I was able to draw items described to me in Spanish and in gestures still surprise me.

I learned how different organizations from different countries work to better their communities. I was challenged and at the same time encouraged by street child United since I have a soft spot for street families. I got new friends who I still keep in touch with, from France, India, Ireland, Denmark, Czech, Pakistan, Austria, England. I learned that no matter who we are, we are equal and I have learned to treat everyone no matter where they come from, age, and abilities with equality and respect a big part of my heart is still in Lyon in the same event with the same people and I wouldn’t have wanted it any different …it was such a blessed way to turn a year older on the French soil, an experience forever in my heart.
