AFRICAN CHIPKIZI CUP

1st youth and grassroots football tournament in Africa

The African Chipkizi Cup is the largest East African youth & grassroots football tournament in Africa. Each year, the number of teams and participants has been increasing. In 2019 we had 168 teams with 2200 boys and girls from 4 African nations take part and playing over 410 games on 14 fields.

Over the last 10 years the Chipkizi Cup has become an established football tournament. Until 2021 Future Stars Academy aims to make an independent East African Tournament out of the Chipkizi Cup and attract more teams from inside East Africa and European countries, not only to play football but moreover to endorse social cohesion. For the past two years the Chipkizi Cup has also been visited by national and international scouts looking for fresh football talent.

Future Stars Academy has the pleasure of using the TGT fields in Arusha for her training, matches and hosting The African Chipkizi Cup. This beautiful green field is part of the Friedkin Conservation area. This year’s tournament will be hosted at the TGT fields, creating space for 10 small and large pitches as well as the Aga Khan University Field and UWCEA (formerly ISM – Arusha Campus).

As the organizers of this event we are very thankful for the support and commitment of these organizations to allow us to use their venues. Asante
