Madelaine Barr
CO-FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Having lived in Zambia my whole life and played football from a young age, I have developed a strong connection to both the sport and the country. Additionally, with eight years of experience working as a videographer and photographer, I have developed a passion for creative media. In my role within this project, I employ these skills alongside hands-on management. I strongly believe in the profound impact sports can have on children, not only enhancing their physical abilities but also shaping their character and interpersonal skills.
James Seabrook
CO-FOUNDER
I grew up in Zambia and very quickly developed a deep passion for football and a connection to the people. This opened my eyes to the potential of football in Zambia, not only on a skills level but also the positive impact it can have on communities. The dream to combine the two and change lives is the driving force behind this project.
Jack Barr
HEAD OF SOCIAL IMPACT
Both football and Zambia have been key parts of my life. I grew up, attended school, and have lived my life here, all while playing football. I am inspired by the incredible talent spread throughout the country and I recognise the power football can have to positively impact the lives of so many. I believe that every child has the right to pursue their dreams on the pitch, and by doing so, they can open the door to many more opportunities.
Charlie Seabrook
CO-FOUNDER
Football has been a central aspect of my life for as long as I can remember. The raw passion that the Zambian people have for this sport has played a significant role in shaping my love for it. Now, I am driven by a desire to create a platform for young, talented, and passionate children to showcase their abilities, improve their footballing skills, and develop into well-rounded individuals - capable of thriving both on and off the field.
