Football came alive in the hidden paradise 🌴⚽️ — our end-of-programme festival at Buca Primary brought together Uluivalili College, St. Bede’s, and Savusavu Secondary for a joyful 5-a-side mini-tournament. With the U16 Savusavu district team crowned champions and Uluivalili College as proud runners-up, the day was filled with laughter, talent, and unity. We saw potential, we felt the passion — and we’re proud to say football is being revived in Savusavu, one kick at a time.

Teachers from Penang High School, RakiRaki Public High School, Nakauvadra High School and Rakiraki Football District rep enjoyed the session that was delivered by Filomena Liku ( Head of Social Responsibility), Louisa Simmons ( Head of Womens Football) and Penelope Pickering (Just Play Staff).

This Is How We Football program is a Football for Good programme which aims to break down barriers for women and girls to play football and maintain a life long engagement with the sport. It provides fun, accessible and safe environment that allows young women to develop their football knowledge and skills and improve their confidence in leaderships and life skills messages promoting respect, decision making, resilience and determination.

Teachers were thrilled with the components of the programme where football skills was learned with important messages of "Empowerment" "Life Skills" "Health" and "Safety". The messages was embedded in the fun games and small sided games which also have football focus. This has developed more ideas to the teachers to go back and designed their session to help with program and also with their soccer teams in school. The course will continue for the next 2 days where they will end with the practical session on the field.

Acknowledgement goes out to our Financial Donors, UEFA Foundation for Children for their continuous support to this prestigious program. Also to all our local stakeholders for their unending support to the program.
