About Us

Our journey began with one belief:

every young player deserves access to high-quality coaching, real development, and a pathway that builds confidence both on and off the pitch.
Quitongo Academy was created to bring professional football training to local communitiesโ€”delivered by qualified coaches with real playing experience at the highest levels. From individual sessions to specialised goalkeeper work and inclusive ASN programmes, our focus is simple: provide an environment where every player can grow, thrive, and fall in love with the game.

Our mission is to be a trusted partner in every playerโ€™s development.

We blend technical coaching, modern football methods, and positive mentorship to help players progress at their own pace. Beyond technique and fitness, we teach discipline, respect, teamwork, and resilienceโ€”the life skills that matter far beyond football. Our goal is to support parents, empower young athletes, and build a culture where football is truly for all.
