Who we are
A football academy built around the whole child
Horizon Football International is a youth football development organisation based in Kyanja, Uganda. We combine professional coaching with life-skills development and a clear route to higher-level football.
Every session is run by qualified coaches inside a safeguarding framework built for children. We work with schools and communities so that talent is found where it actually lives — not only where it can afford to be seen.
01
Technical excellence
Age-appropriate coaching in ball mastery, passing, dribbling, shooting and decision-making — structured so that a five-year-old and a sixteen-year-old each get what they need.
02
Character and leadership
Confidence, communication, teamwork, discipline and resilience are coached as deliberately as technique. Most of our players will not turn professional — all of them will need these.
03
Pathways that are real
Transparent progression from grassroots sessions to competitive squads, regional festivals and international exchange — with the criteria written down and shared with parents.

Why parents choose HOFI
More than a football club
International standards
Our coaching follows internationally recognised youth development frameworks, adapted for Ugandan conditions rather than copied wholesale.
Girls are not an afterthought
We run mixed and girls-only sessions with female coaching support, because participation collapses when girls are made to feel like guests.
School partnerships
We work alongside schools so football supports education instead of competing with it, fitting around timetables and exam periods.
Fitness and wellbeing
Movement skills, endurance, strength, nutrition awareness and injury prevention are taught from the first session, at an age-appropriate level.
A route beyond Uganda
Our growth plan moves from Uganda to East Africa to international exchange — coach development, friendly competition and reciprocal learning.
Genuinely affordable
From UGX 10,000 a session with Mobile Money accepted, so a family can start without a large commitment up front.
Questions
Before you register
Which age groups can join?
Children and young people aged 5 to 17. Players are grouped by age and ability so that sessions stay appropriate and safe, and so that nobody is left either bored or overwhelmed.
Where does training take place?
At Charzanna, Kyanja — 7 Miles (Kumbuzi), Off Gayaza Road, Kampala. Sessions run four times a week. Contact us on +256 775 196 861 for the current weekly timetable.
How do I pay?
By Mobile Money, to 0775 196 861 (Ssebatya Charles) or 0750 594 376. Monthly training is UGX 140,000. Single sessions are UGX 10,000, paid on the day.
Can girls join?
Yes, and we actively want them to. HOFI runs both mixed sessions and girls-only training, with female coaching support present. Equity and inclusion is one of our eight strategic objectives, not a slogan.
What should my child bring to a first session?
Comfortable sports clothing, suitable footwear and drinking water. Nothing else is required. If you later buy the full kit (UGX 280,000) your child receives the official HOFI jersey, shorts, t-shirt and socks.
What happens to my child’s information?
Registration details are held by HOFI for welfare, safeguarding and communication purposes only. Photo and video consent is requested separately on the form, and you may decline it without affecting your child’s place.
Give your child a place to grow
Registration takes a few minutes. Training starts the same week.
