"It's a soccer camp for kids from six to 16 years old. It's a camp with the coaches of FC Porto. It's starting today (Friday) and ending on Monday.
"Over and above that, there are workshops for coaches on three different days. 40 coaches have attended the first session on the methodologies and principles of FC Porto's coaching principles.
"It's in Gauteng in Bedfordview. The idea is to upskill the kids and coaches. The feedback from the coaches has been nothing but mindboggling and that was only the first session. We've also had 30 underprivileged kids participate.
"They are from Tembisa. They come in the afternoon – 13 and 14-year-olds. They will be there. The community has really supported the initiative," Marques told the Siya crew.
