Our journey began when German football coach Sascha Bauer was working as a coach instructor in South Africa 2010 and was inspired by the work of GCU Academy in Cape Town. He founded FFWU and shortly after brought the project to Mozambique.
Since then, FFWU has evolved significantly. We’ve refined our approach, adapted methodologies, and forged partnerships with new projects across South Africa, Mozambique, Brazil, Namibia, the United States and Germany.
Throughout this journey, we’ve gleaned invaluable insights from our partners and coaches, enriching our collective understanding and deepening our commitment to harnessing the power of football for positive social change.
