Watching the local coaches and children engage and participate in a sport which knows no language or social barriers is the ultimate reward.” ~Mr. Pablo Gomez Revenge, Real Madrid Foundation's Technical Management Clinics and International Technical Schools Director







“AKFC is an integral program that not only values children but the community as well. This event gives opportunities to those who normally have lesser chances at sports and brings the community together to celebrate the love of football. We believe that football is a common language that everyone can enjoy regardless of culture, nationality or religion." ~Mr. Kosuke Miimi, YHA’ s President
