NURTURING POTENTIAL
INTO ROLE MODELS

welcome to el cambio ACADEMY

More than football

As a football academy based in Uganda, our passion is to change lives on and off the pitch for both boys and girls.


We want our students to become future African role models so that they can inspire, support and help others in their communities, who have not had the opportunity to join El Cambio Academy.
