Uniting regions through football

AFC is a football movement started by students. We give young people from every region a place to show their skill, make friends and grow through fair competition.

Our mission

We gather teams from every region and run matches and tournaments on a regular schedule. What started as a small idea is growing into a nationwide football movement.

Team

The team behind every match

AFC is built by students themselves: they organise it, film it and bring the partners in.

Core team04

The people who run the project, talk to partners and film every day.

Even the most beautiful goal starts with one precise pass, and we make that pass between schools, partners and families.
