OUR JOURNEY SO FAR
Born out of passion and a desire to transform lives, KIRAA Football Academy began with a simple dream: to give talented youths a structured platform to grow.
From the grassroots pitches of Ijebu Ososa to the promise of national and international recognition, we are committed to shaping the next generation of Nigerian football stars.
PAST: WHERE WE ARE COMING FROM
KIRAA Football Academy was born out of a simple but powerful idea: that every young Nigerian deserves the opportunity to turn their football passion into purpose.
In Ijebu, Ososa, we saw raw talent playing on dusty fields without proper training, mentorship, or exposure.
We saw young boys and girls with dreams as big as the stars but with no structured pathway to achieve them. That gap sparked our vision.
PRESENT: WHERE WE ARE NOW
Today, KIRAA Academy stands as more than just a football training ground—it is a hub of discipline, community, and opportunity.
With professional coaching staff, structured programs, and partnerships in progress, we are creating a balanced system where young players excel in both football and academics.
Families now see KIRAA as a safe, nurturing environment for their children’s growth on and off the pitch.
FUTURE: WHERE WE'RE GOING
The journey has only begun. Our goal is to transform KIRAA into a world-class football institution recognized across Africa and beyond. We envision:
· Expanding facilities into a full sports and education campus.
· Building strong links with local and international football clubs.
· Producing players who represent Nigeria on global stages.
· Creating long-term sponsorship networks that benefit both the academy and partners.
· Developing future role models who inspire the next generation in Ijebu, Ososa, and across Nigeria.

· Reduce youth unemployment through meaningful engagement.
· Offer an alternative to crime and idleness.

Short-term (1–3 years) — Build core facilities, establish local presence, recruit first cohorts of players.

Long-term (5+ years) — Become a recognized hub for African football talent with international linkages.
