​While we're passionate about the sport of football, we are also calculated in how we use it to create positive change.​ All our activities are designed to create wider social and community impact with education at the core.
​
We use a community football club model to engage with young people in Zambia and help them as a part of team to learn new things and give something back to their community through outreach programs. Africa On The Ball is a team in every sense of the word, we work together to achieve goals as well as score them.​​​

SUCCESS STORIES
LATEST PROJECTS
The drainage project involved the construction of drainage networks to improve water management and reduce the risk of flooding at our football pitch In Kalingalinga. The drainage project was made possible through the funds that were raised in the Kiltwalk.
What began as a small donation in 2022 has now grown into one of the most anticipated annual community events in the rural parts of Luzi District, Eastern Province, Zambia.
Our outreach teams conduct weekly Physical Education and life skills sessions in three schools: Mama Stella’s, Kalingalinga Community School, and Kalingalinga Primary School, with full support from school management.
