Oasis Football Academy will proudly represent Sierra Leone at the Gothia Cup 2026, a prestigious global youth football tournament taking place in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 12–19 July 2026. This opportunity will position our young talents as ambassadors of national pride, contributing to Sierra Leone’s international sporting presence.


Purpose and Strategic Rationale

Participation in the Gothia Cup will provide world-class competitive exposure, broaden global perspectives, and offer a valuable platform for players to showcase their talents internationally. Beyond sport, the programme delivers significant psychosocial benefits. International exposure fosters confidence, resilience, ambition, and a belief in future possibilities. Socially, participants return as positive role models, promoting discipline, purpose, and hope within their schools and communities. Over time, they are expected to grow into leaders, mentors, and ambassadors contributing meaningfully to national development.


Participation in the Gothia Cup is far more than a sporting event—it is a transformative opportunity that fosters confidence, hope, and long-term potential. It creates pathways for personal development, social inclusion, and meaningful future opportunities.


Long-Term Impact (2–5 Years)

  • Empowered, healthy, and socially responsible young men with sustainable pathways in education, sport, leadership, and employment

  • Reduced inequality through access to global opportunities

  • Strengthened community cohesion and youth participation

  • Sustained engagement in education, vocational pathways, or structured football academies

  • Improved life chances and reduced social exclusion

  • Enhanced institutional capacity within Oasis Football Academy

The total project budget is estimated at USD 86,320. Oasis is covering USD 14,000

We respectfully invite your support in making this life-changing experience accessible to those who need it most. Your investment will help transform lives, strengthen communities, and advance football as a powerful tool for inclusion and positive change.


Sponsorship Options

  1. General Sponsorship: Financial support towards return flights, accommodation, or the full project cost (USD 72,320).

  2. Individual Sponsorship: Sponsorship of one or more participants at USD 3,144 per participant.


(Oasis Football Academy has already contributed USD 660 per participant, covering kits and equipment, visa applications and documentation, and insurance.) 


Your support will have a direct and meaningful impact on the lives of these young athletes and will contribute significantly to youth empowerment through sport in Sierra Leone.


 
 
 

Oasis Football Academy has been officially registered to present an Under-16 Boys’ Team at the Gothia Cup 2026 in Gothenburg, Sweden—the world’s most respected and internationally diverse youth football tournament.


In Sierra Leone, many young people face poverty, limited educational opportunities, unemployment, and an increased risk of falling into crime, drug use, and exploitation. Football stands as one of the few constructive outlets providing structure, discipline, and hope.


The Gothia Cup offers these boys a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel internationally, compete professionally, expand their worldview, and be recognised for their talent beyond the limitations of poverty and social hardship.


We are therefore seeking sponsorship and financial assistance to ensure their participation in this transformative event.


Supporting this initiative means investing in the lives of talented young people who deserve the chance to dream, grow, and excel. With your support, we can help shape futures, inspire hope, and empower a new generation of leaders.


Benefits of Supporting the Team

Participation in the Gothia Cup will:

• Provide invaluable international exposure and cultural exchange

• Build leadership, teamwork, resilience, and communication skills

• Offer a positive alternative to street life

• Transform the lives of at-risk youth

• Reinforce discipline, confidence, and positive behaviour

• Strengthen family and community pride

• Inspire future youth participation in global activities

• Reduce vulnerability to crime and exploitation

• Open doors to opportunities in education, sport, and personal development

The Gothia Cup 2026 presents an opportunity that can redefine these boys’ confidence, ambition, and future trajectory.
