Using Football as a Tool for Youth Development
Welcome to MAO Football Academy, MAO Football Academy is a refugee-focused football and youth development program that uses football as a powerful tool to create opportunities for children and young people from refugee and host communities.
We believe football can go beyond the pitch. Through sport, we create opportunities for young people to develop their talents, build confidence, strengthen relationships, improve their wellbeing and develop important life skills.
Our programs provide a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where every child and young person regardless of their background, nationality or circumstances can participate, learn, grow and reach their potential.
