GYFA ~ Golden Youth Football Academy

Saving Lives Through Football

At Golden Youth Football Academy (GYFA), football is more than just a game—it’s a lifeline.

We’re working to give young Gambians a real alternative to risking their lives on the dangerous “Backway” migration route to Europe.

Too many young boys are leaving their families and communities, chasing uncertain futures abroad. Through GYFA, we’re giving them hope, purpose, and opportunity right here at home.

What We’re Raising Funds For:

✅ Transport – So players can safely attend training and matches

✅ Food and Nutrition – To fuel young athletes and keep them healthy

✅ Football Kits, Boots & Equipment – So no child is left behind because of lack of gear

✅ Sponsorship Support – Helping players stay in education while pursuing football

✅ Grassroots Development – Building stronger youth programs and creating more local opportunities

Every single donation—big or small—makes a real difference.

You’re not just helping a football academy… you’re helping save lives, build futures, and kick out Backway for good.
