AOTB attends Tackle showcase

Africa on the Ball was delighted to attend a Tackle showcase at the British High Commission

residence in Lusaka, celebrating the role football can play in engaging young people with

vital health information and services.

Tackle harnesses the power and popularity of football to connect young people across Africa

with information and services relating to HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health and

Rights (SRHR).

By integrating health and wellbeing messages into football warm-ups, games and practical

sessions, young people can access important information in a familiar and inclusive

environment. This approach helps build confidence, encourages open conversations and

supports young people to make informed decisions about their health.

At Africa on the Ball, we’re passionate about using football to create positive change, both

on and off the pitch. Initiatives like Tackle demonstrate how the game can be a powerful tool

for sparking important conversations, raising awareness and creating lasting impact in young

people’s lives.
