There's a new kid in South African football and it's called Inter Mzansi Academy, founded by former Swallows striker Naeem Amoojee and ex-Kaizer Chiefs striker Nicolas Mynhardt.

Passionate about nurturing stars of tomorrow, Amoojee has given detail into why he has made the big decision to start a football academy. The academy players will be wearing a kit by Diadora.

Inter Mzansi will have a youth football workshop on October 29, where SAFA accredited coaches, ex and current professionals will have a coaching clinic and mini analysis.

"As a professional footballer in South Africa, I have firsthand experience and knowledge of the sport, which makes the decision even more valuable. Creating a soccer academy allows you to channel your passion for the game and impart your expertise to aspiring young athletes," Amoojee said to the Siya crew.

"The youth are the future of soccer, and it is crucial to invest in their development both on and off the field. By providing them with a nurturing environment, proper coaching, and mentorship, you can help shape their skills, instill discipline, and foster a deep love for the game."

"Through the Inter Mzansi soccer academy, I have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of these young players, not only as athletes but also as individuals. By nurturing their talents and providing them with guidance, we can help them grow into well-rounded individuals with a passion for soccer that extends beyond the field.
