About us

Launched in 2021, Taquwa Soccer Academy (registered with the Uganda Youth Football Association) uses football to empower young people in Uganda. The academy aims to create lasting positive change through football. By teaching valuable life skills like discipline and responsibility, the academy equips these youngsters to chase their dreams and become productive members of society. Football isn’t just about the game; it’s a tool for education and community development. Taquwa prioritizes academics alongside training, aiming to build well-rounded athletes. Currently, the academy nurtures the talents of over 100 promising young players, each with a chance to make a real impact. The goal is to instill hope, ignite dreams, and cultivate a love for football that unites everyone—players, coaches, families, fans, and the entire community.

HISTORY THAT PUSHES US

Taquwa Soccer Academy is a beacon of hope in a disadvantaged Ugandan community. We understand the challenges faced by children and youth in disadvantaged communities, such as poverty, substance abuse, and violence. We use football as a tool to empower children from underprivileged backgrounds, equipping them with the skills and discipline to forge brighter futures. We believe education is fundamental to success. That’s why we integrate academic support into our training programs, fostering well-rounded development for our young athletes. Our goal is to cultivate a generation of “educated and productive athletes.” While we’ve successfully secured scholarships for some players, we strive to do more. Our commitment to player development is paying off! Two academy players have been promoted to the KJT U17 team, now competing in the FUFA Juniors League. Ten young people from the academy benefited from bursaries that supported their education from primary to secondary school
