β½π± URIRI TALENT ACADEMY: BEYOND FOOTBALL
Since its establishment in 2020, Uriri Talent Academy has grown from just six children under 10 into a youth development platform supporting 40 young players in the Under-13 and Under-15 categories.
Led by FKF-certified Coach Erick Otieno Omolo, the Academy uses football as an entry point for talent development, leadership, mentorship, child protection and positive social change.
At UTA, every child deserves a safe environment to play, learn, grow and dream. Child protection is therefore central to our work.
We promote safeguarding, responsible adult mentorship, positive discipline and safe participation, while working with families, schools and relevant child-support structures to ensure that children are protected from abuse, exploitation, neglect and harmful practices.
Beyond football, UTA engages young people through feeding programmes, arts and crafts, environmental conservation, community clean-ups, food sovereignty initiatives and Football for the Goals β SDG 2.
Today, the Academy participates in the FKF Grassroots Youth League, creating opportunities for young players to develop their abilities while building confidence, teamwork and leadership.
From six children in 2020 to a growing community of young talents today, Uriri Talent Academy is proving that football can be a powerful pathway to protection, opportunity and transformation.
