About

Our Academy History - Believe Football Academy was founded 2018 with one goal: Develop disciplined, skilled, and educated young footballers for Nigeria and beyond. We started with players training on basic field/area. Today we have playeyers across U10, U12, U15, U17 and free Age categories, with certified coaches and a structured training curriculum. Our philosophy is built on 3 pillars: Character first, Skills second, Results third. We believe every player must be a good person before becoming a good footballer. Since inception, we have focused on grassroots development, giving kids from [Ikorodu area/Lagos at large] access to quality coaching regardless of background. Key Achievements & Tournament Results: Champions - [NATA CUP, 2018] - Free Age Bishop Bangbola Football Cup, 2022. Participating in 1xCup second edition and third edition 2024/2025.
