The game of football or soccer has changed and for African players to stay competitive to attract better interest and contracts, their coaches need to stay with the current trend of coaching and constantly upgrade themselves hence the Coach the Coaches Course.

The post Everything to Know About the Coach the Coaches Course first appeared on Fafali.

The tournament will be hosted by Africa Footballers Connect in partnership with the Fafali Organization. Other major partners include KitAid UK and Jordan Sinnott Foundation Trust.

The tournament was initiated when the Sinnott Jerseys were donated to the Fafali Organization by KitAid UK. Derrick Williams, the founder and CEO of KitAid UK, gave the go ahead for the tournament to be staged when he was contacted by Raymond Amezado, the President of the Fafali Organization.

In an interview with the organizer of this year’s tournament, Sadique Walker (Chief Operating Officer, Fafali organization and CEO of Africa footballers connect), he mentioned the essence of organizing such a tournament, “is to create an eternal memory for the man (Jordan Sinnott) and also use this opportunity to promote African football and create opportunities for African talented footballers”.

Sadique Walker added that this tournament is to also celebrate how great of a person Jordan Sinnott was and to raise awareness about his tragic and untimely death, as they don’t want anyone to suffer a similar fate.

Jordan Sinnott died in hospital after suffering a fractured skull and brain damage following the assault in Retford, Nottinghamshire, on 25 January 2020. His killers have since been jailed for 11yrs.

Over sixty (60) teams declared their intention to feature in this year’s tournament but we had to cut down the number since it is our first year organzing the event. The hope is to have more participants in subsequent tournaments.

The maiden edition of the tournament will include four (4) teams who will battle it out to win jerseys donated by KitAid by European teams with a customized Sinnot name as well as jerseys from teams Jordan Sinnott featured for.

The winner goes home with these beautiful “Sinnott” branded jerseys and a ball, and a slot to play in an international scouting tournament later this month. The second position also gains a slot to play in the scouting tournament, plus all other benefits.

All four teams will have analyzed soccer advice from a European Talent Identification expert, network, and promotional opportunities on all our social media handles.

The hope is for this tournament to become a yearly event as a means to continue the legacy of Jordan Sinnott. Besides the prizes, the tournament will be used to talk about the tragedy of Jordan Sinnott and the similar happenings in our communities and country, what we can do as citizens to make the world a safer and a better place for all. 

Since this is going to be a competition, every team will strive to win the ultimate and as humans, as we are, we are bound to err one way or the other which may result in hooliganism. The organizer of the tournament explained briefly, how they intend to curb such a situation.

“What we have started with is to get involved with managers of the teams that are going to participate and we have had discussions with them that this is not a competition where they have to worry about winning but rather, we want the love to flow,” Sadique Walker said.

The passing of Jordan Sinnott is an unfortunate one, and by playing this tournament, we hope to put smiles on the faces of his loved ones, especially his fiancée, Kelly Bossons, and daughter, Maisie.

The event dubbed “Setting a Solid Foundation for a Successful Non-Profit Organization” and also meant to inculcate leadership values in the youth, saw speakers from the Fafali organization and the Reliance Charity Foundation.

The headline speaker for the event was, Mr. Barry E. Knighton MSW Social Worker from Columbia, South Carolina USA, who is an international Humanitarian volunteer with the Fafali Organization. Other notable speakers at the event were Rev. Senyo Sosu, Co-founder and the CEO of Fafali Organization, Raymond Amezado, Founder of Fafali Organization, and Eric Owiredu, Executive Director of Reliance Charity Foundation.

In attendance were 28 leaders of different backgrounds with a passion for charity and community development. Without the backing and commitment of the leaders of organizations, most programs will wither and die off quickly. The training provided insight on the fortes and positive aspects of the leader’s actions and styles.

The international Guest speaker, Barry E. Knighton was the first speaker on the day and he was tasked to share with participants the foundational principles of leadership character and how it shapes our organizational perspective, administration, and outreach practices. There was never a dull moment as he adopted a creative method of allowing the participants to get involved with the teaching process.

Raymond Amezado, Founder, Fafali Organization was next to speak about his experience in the Non-Governmental Organization sector from developing an effective team, having the necessary people around him, overcoming challenges, and strengthening communities. This is a man who spent almost all his life serving people through philanthropic work all over the world and it was great having him pass down some knowledge to young participants who have the passion to venture into the sector.

Last but not least was Rev. Senyo Sosu, CEO, Fafali Organization also enlightened participants about his experience by sharing his expertise from a CEO’s perspective and his journey to the top.

A great program it was but definitely not the last of its kind as the Fafali Organization look set to groom people in the NGO sector to become a major driving force of the Ghanaian economy as we believe any country with a strong Non-Governmental Organization sector is a successful country.
