As the founder of Jawab Sport Academy, I am thrilled to reflect on the incredible progress we have made in the past three months. Our academy, which was founded to nurture young, underprivileged football talent, has already reached significant milestones, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to our journey so far.
We recently participated in our first major tournament, the FCT Preseason Tournament in Abuja, and we are proud to have reached the quarter-final stage. This achievement, coupled with our success in winning the majority of the friendly matches we played, is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our players and everyone involved with Jawab Sport Academy.
First, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the coaching crew. Your commitment to the development of our players has been exceptional. Through your tireless efforts, you have helped shape these young athletes into disciplined and skilled footballers. Your focus on their growth, both on and off the pitch, has been crucial to our success, and I am incredibly proud of the work you continue to do.
To our amazing media team, thank you for capturing and sharing the essence of Jawab Sport Academy with the world. Through your lens, our journey is seen by a wider audience, and your creativity has helped amplify the academy’s story. Your efforts ensure that every step we take is documented and celebrated, and for that, I am immensely grateful.
Next, I want to acknowledge our welfare team, led by my beloved wife. Your dedication to ensuring that our players are well-fed, cared for, and supported has been nothing short of extraordinary. You have created an environment where these young athletes can thrive, knowing that their well-being is always a priority. I especially want to thank my wife for her compassion and the unwavering care she has shown to the players, treating them like family.
To our passionate fans, thank you for your continued support. Your belief in our vision and your presence during every match have provided the motivation and energy our players need to keep pushing forward. We feel your love and support in every game, and it makes a world of difference.
I also want to express my sincere gratitude to the Jawab Sport Academy All Stars team. Your guidance, experience, and love for the game have had a lasting impact on our young players. You have not only inspired them but also provided a source of motivation that drives them to be better every day. Your support has been valuable, and we are honored to have you as part of the Jawab family.
A heartfelt thank you goes to the FCT Preseason Tournament organizers for providing us with the platform to participate and grow as a team. The tournament has been an incredible learning experience, and we are grateful for the opportunity to compete at such a high level.
Finally, to the Suleja and Kwamba community, we are deeply humbled by your support and resilience. You have embraced our academy and shown unwavering commitment to our success. Your encouragement, presence, and love for football have been a source of inspiration for everyone at Jawab Sport Academy, and we are proud to represent you.
I would also like to take a moment to recognize our players for their hard work, determination, and passion. Reaching the quarter-finals in our first tournament and conceeding only one goal througout the tonament is not a small feat, and your efforts both in training and on the field have not gone unnoticed. Keep pushing, keep believing, and know that brighter days are ahead for all of you.
As we move forward, I am excited to announce that we have started receiving responses from the various partnership proposals we sent to organizations, including banks, multinational companies, airlines, and sports clubs in Europe. We are optimistic about the potential collaborations and sponsorship opportunities that lie ahead.
Additionally, we are open to affiliations with established clubs in Europe that share our vision of developing young football talent. We also welcome partnerships with genuine scouts and agents who can help us create pathways for our players to showcase their skills and secure opportunities at higher levels.
Lastly, I would like to extend my gratitude to the clubs that have graciously hosted us for friendly matches. Your willingness to provide a platform for our young players to compete has been an integral part of their development, and we are deeply thankful for your support.
As we continue to grow, I am confident that even greater achievements await us. This is just the beginning of our journey, and with the support of our dedicated team, our passionate fans, and the incredible community that surrounds us, the future is bright for Jawab Sport Academy.
Thank you all for your trust, commitment, and belief in our vision. Together, we will continue to nurture the next generation of football stars.
