The favourite part of the game is the OPPORTUNITY to PLAY

What happens when a glowing talent loses the one opportunity to have the world at his feet? It dies.

What crosses the mind when football talents from African soil abandon their fatherland for distant lands and forget where they came from? Frailty

From Nigeria to South Africa, Zimbabwe to Morocco, there has been a massive yet continuous rise in the discovery of football talents across the African continent. While this discovery holds massive hope for the rise of African football on world stages, there is doubt as to whether or not this rising African talent will receive the resources and materials required to become qualified for the biggest stages in the football world. Notably, the unavailability of resources and limited playing opportunities biting at the football industry in Africa is the major reason why individuals, once vested in the game, abandon their talents or seek many ways to depart the continent for football opportunities in European countries.

This is where Uburu comes in….

Uburu is, an American football initiative aimed at bridging the gap between African and European football leagues and supporting African football academies with unique opportunities for rising football talents in the African continent. The initiative in collaboration with SISU Africa presents scholarship opportunities for football talents. Additionally, is the initiative aimed at the practical aspects of football development. It further prioritizes the theory including coaching, journalism, etc, and provides optimum guidance for football players throughout their training sessions and equips them with needed resources to ensure a smooth and successful timing of all activities.

As an initiative aimed at the rise of African football talents, Uburu proposes a long-term solution to Africa's existing problem.
