Ndola Arrows shining bright!
On 30th January 2026, the Cherise Makubale Foundation made its third visit to Ndola Arrows Football Academy, delivering K6,000 to help with pitch rental and keep these kids training strong!
The academy is home to 75 kids aged 8 and above, all training completely free of charge. At the heart of everything they do is discipline, humility and focus — values that are shaping the next generation of Zambian football talent.
Big Achievements
- 7 players (aged 19) have been loaned to other clubs
- 2 girls are now playing at Kalumbila Queens
- Pablo Ndalama — a former Ndola Arrows academy player — represented Zambia in the FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025 as a defender! He is now with Dream Factory, but Ndola Arrows helped start his journey
This was one of the first stories in our 2026 calendar — delivering real change for Ndola youth!
Our Long-Term Commitment
Our past support has included school supplies and soccer boots. This latest K6,000 donation for pitch rental ensures the academy can continue providing a safe and consistent training environment for all 75 young players.
The Cherise Makubale Foundation remains committed to supporting Ndola Arrows long-term, because investing in grassroots sport is investing in our community's future.
