Elite Africa Football Academy (EAFA) was founded on a simple but powerful belief: education and football together can transform lives.
We’re building a tuition-free K–12 boys’ academy that delivers world-class academics, elite football training, and leadership development, all designed to empower Africa’s next generation of leaders.
We are beginning with Kindergarten and 1st Grade, adding one grade each year until we reach Grade 12. This phased approach ensures every student receives a strong foundation as our academy grows.

EAFA was founded by Dr. Emmanuel Luvert, former Division I soccer player, coach, and educator, who saw firsthand how education and sport together can build discipline, purpose, and opportunity.
What started as a vision is becoming a movement — one beginning in The Gambia and expanding across Africa. EAFA aims to model the powerful combination of academic excellence, athletic training, and character development in a safe, supportive environment.
EAFA is a team of educators, coaches, and leaders united by a single mission: giving every child, regardless of background, the opportunity to learn, grow, and lead.
We operate as a nonprofit organization (U.S.) with 501(c)(3) pending, and as an international NGO.
Our Board of Directors provides oversight and strategy, while the Founder & Executive Director leads the vision, program design, and partnerships.
Integrity— Leading with honesty and transparency.
Excellence— High expectations on and off the field.
Resilience — Teaching students to rise and keep going.
Community — Strong relationships among teachers, coaches, families, and supporters.
