OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Date: 17 August 2026
SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE FOOTBALL ACADEMY
The School of Excellence Football Academy wishes to inform our players, supporters, football clubs, academies and the football community that we will not participate in the 2026/2027 season.
We encourage all our players to continue their football development by training and joining suitable programmes offered by other football clubs and academies during this period.
However, this is not the end of the School of Excellence Football Academy.
We will use this period to restructure, strengthen and rebuild the academy internally, with a clear focus on player development, administration, technical structures and the long-term future of the academy.
Should opportunities arise for us to participate in other football conferences, tournaments or competitions, we will consider them accordingly.
We sincerely appreciate SAFA and its collective for the opportunities, support and experiences given to the School of Excellence Football Academy. We are grateful for the journey and the lessons gained along the way.
To all our players, coaches, supporters, families and fellow football teams:
We wish you all the very best of luck for the 2026/2027 season.
This is not goodbye.
We are rebuilding. We are restructuring. We are preparing for the future.
