Schools can turn to this programme to help students who want to up their game or pick up the sport.
SINGAPORE: Primary and secondary school students in Singapore will now have more opportunities to play football under an ambitious programme created by football governing body FIFA.
“The top footballers that we know and love today – Ronaldo, Messi, and our very own Fandi Ahmad right here in Singapore – fell in love with the sport and found their passion from a very young age,” he added. The children also learn important life skills such as communication, leadership and managing their emotions, said FIFA’s Football for Schools director Fatimata Sidibe.
Acting FAS president Bernard Tan said: “Especially when we have a football programme that is outside the school or regular time, this becomes a very good resource for the schools to use. “Most importantly, I think increasingly we need to bring smiles to our kids,” he said. “We need to make sure that one of the joys of growing up is to really have fun and play with your friends.”
