Ngwali says the academy’s main target is to develop players capable of competing in international markets, particularly in Eastern and Western Europe. “Our target is not simply to produce players for domestic leagues,” he says. “We want our graduates to be good enough to compete in Europe and other top football markets. That is why every part of our program is designed to meet international standards.” To achieve that objective, ZCFA plans to conduct talent identification programs beginning next month. The scouting program will focus on discovering talented youngsters from Zanzibar and Mainland Tanzania who have the potential to develop into professional footballers. Ngwali says selected players will receive comprehensive support, including accommodation, meals, training equipment and other welfare needs.
