About Us

What we do

Uniting passion and performance in sports

Blantyre Soccer Academy, registered as a charity under SC 043613, is deeply committed to fostering community engagement and well-being through the beautiful game of football. Since our establishment in 2010, our primary objectives have been to promote public participation in amateur football and to enhance the physical fitness and health of individuals in Blantyre and its surrounding areas. We believe in providing a safe and nurturing environment where individuals of all ages, from children as young as 3 to adults, including over 35’s, can come together to enjoy the sport and reap its benefits.

At the core of our ethos is the belief in inclusivity and diversity. We are proud to operate as a Full Disability Club, ensuring that everyone, regardless of ability, has access to the joys of football. Our commitment to providing a full player pathway underscores our dedication to offering opportunities for growth and development at every stage of a player’s journey.

As a community-focused organization, we are driven by the goodwill and support of our volunteers and local community members. Our status as a non-profit venture underscores our dedication to serving the community rather than pursuing financial gain. We strive to make our facilities and equipment accessible to all, irrespective of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or disabilities.

Blantyre Soccer Academy plays a pivotal role in providing positive activities and opportunities for young people in the Blantyre area. However, our reach extends beyond geographical boundaries, as we warmly welcome individuals from neighboring districts to participate in our programs. Through initiatives focused on promoting positive living, nutrition, discipline, and exercise, we aim to instill in our young participants the values of a healthy lifestyle and good sportsmanship.

Looking to the future, Blantyre Soccer Academy is eager to expand its reach and impact. With a goal to increase our participation numbers to 700+ active individuals over the next 12 months, we recognize the importance of continued community support in achieving our mission. Together, we are committed to building a better Blantyre, one person at a time, through the power of football and community engagement.
