TECNO has announced an initiative to renovate 100 football pitches across African communities to support sports and create opportunities for the youth by investing in grassroots development.
The initiative is tied to TECNO’s partnership with the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), reflecting a vision that football is more than just a game; it is hope, opportunity, and a pathway to brighter futures.
TECNO’s partnership with AFCON is not only about celebrating football at the highest level, but also about investing in the grassroots, where the true heartbeat of the game lives. The firm is set to renovate 100 football pitches across African communities.
Sports play a particularly crucial role in disadvantaged communities and informal settlements, where opportunities for positive engagement are often limited. Safe and accessible football pitches offer young people an alternative to crime, drugs, and other social challenges, while instilling values of teamwork, discipline, and resilience.
By creating safe spaces for play, TECNO aims to empower communities to nurture talent, build social cohesion, and inspire future generations.
Football has long been a unifying force in Africa, and through this initiative, TECNO hopes to provide children and youth with a chance to dream and to channel their energy positively.
Every great footballer and leader begins with a dream and a place to grow. By renovating these pitches, TECNO is giving children the chance to nurture their talent, build confidence, and chase their dreams dreams that could one day take them to the AFCON stage or even the world stage.
TECNO is the first mobile device company to make such a bold investment in African grassroots sports infrastructure. Beyond improving pitches, the initiative represents an investment in Africa’s future, ensuring that talent has the environment and opportunity to shine.
As the renovations begin, TECNO looks forward to working with local communities to build spaces that will create joy, teamwork, and success stories for years to come.
