In a bid to empower young boys and create a pathway for their future, the Daramola Dynasty Foundation (DDF) has officially launched the Dynasty Football Academy in Isara-Remo, Ogun State.
The academy, an initiative of DDF, aims to provide opportunities for young boys within the Remo community, keeping them off the streets and equipping them with essential life skills through football and education.
Speaking on the vision behind the project, Adedoyin Adeeso, the club’s secretary, stated, “This initiative is more than just football training. It is about nurturing discipline, fostering resilience, and building a sense of purpose among these young players.”
She noted that the academy focuses on boys aged 13 to 15 years, integrating structured football training with academic and character-building programs.
“The programme ensures they grow not only as athletes but as well-rounded individuals ready to take on life’s challenges,” she added.
Beyond football, the academy provides financial and educational support, covering WAEC and JAMB fees through scholarships. It also includes health insurance to safeguard the well-being of the players.
“A monthly allowance will also be provided to give the boys stability as they commit to building a better future for themselves,” Adeeso revealed.
