About Our Mission

Learn how 11th City Football Academy is transforming lives in Olepolos, Ngong through sports, mentorship, and community engagement

Our Story

The 11th City Football Academy began with a simple vision: to use football as a catalyst for positive change in young lives. Founded by Coach Kevin (11th City), the program started with a handful of passionate youth and has grown to serve over 90 children and young people across Olepolos, Ngong.

What began as informal football training on local fields has evolved into a comprehensive youth development initiative that combines sports training, mentorship, and community engagement. Today, we operate multiple age-group programs serving children from ages 5 to 20.

Our success is built on the belief that every young person deserves access to quality sports training, mentorship, and opportunities to develop both as athletes and as citizens.
