The clinic is scheduled to start on Sunday 30th October under the tutelage of Manchester United coaches -- Mark Fagan, Paul Bright and Billy Miller drawing participants from neighbouring Kenya, Malawi and Sierra Leone.
The clinic concludes 2011 Airtel Rising Stars programme which was launched in Tanzania late June by former Manchester United industrious striker Andrew Cole who spent seven successful seasons at the club and was part of the team than clinched five of the total 19 English Premier League titles.
This Airtel football initiative is aimed at identifying and nurturing budding soccer talent from the grassroots onto a national stage. Twenty-four secondary school teams from four regions of Morogoro, Iringa, Mwanza and Dar es Salaam participated in ARS this year displaying unique football talent especially during the national games held at the Karume Memorial Stadium in September.
In the words of the President of the Tanzania Football Federation, Leodger Tenga: “This programme is key to the development of football in Tanzania. What makes the Airtel Football Stars program special is the collaboration with Manchester United, one of top teams in the world. This makes it one of the best things that could happen to Tanzanian Football. We are profoundly grateful to this partnership and pledge our full support to the program”.
Airtel is proud to be involved in football which has the ability to connect and empower communities through the passion it elicits from fans and the ability of players to learn and eke a living from the sport.
The clinic provides a rare opportunity for the youngsters to learn advanced football techniques under the best trainers and further enhance their performance.
The Airtel Rising Stars is an Africa-wide program that is aimed to provide a platform for upcoming soccer talent under the age of seventeen to showcase their skills to leading scouts, coaches and have an opportunity to further their football skills.
