About us

Our mission is to harness the power of football to transform the lives of underprivileged children, developing their talents and offering them opportunities they could only dream of. At Better Future Academy, we believe that football not only shapes better players but also helps mold better human beings. Through structured training and mentorship, we empower children to believe in themselves and inspire them to pursue their dreams, both on and off the field.

Our focus is on developing talent in some of the most underserved areas of Karachi, specifically in Malir and Lyari. Lyari, known as «Mini Brazil» for its deep-rooted passion for football, has produced some of the best football players in Pakistan, and it is the only region where football overshadows cricket. Despite its reputation, Lyari remains one of the most densely populated slum areas in South Asia.

At Better Future Academy, we offer free training to children from these communities, with regular training sessions led by experienced coaches, including a UEFA A-license coach. Our aim is not only to make them better athletes but also to nurture their personal development, encouraging them to have confidence in their abilities and to believe they can achieve anything they set their minds to.

We are proud to have had our G15 team participate in the Norway Cup, the world’s largest football tournament, where we won silver among 132 teams from around the world. This achievement showcases the potential these young athletes have when given the right platform and exposure.

Through multiple training sessions per week, we keep children off the streets and focused on their growth as individuals and as football players. Our program is designed to give these young athletes the skills they need to succeed, both locally and internationally, and to provide them with a brighter, more hopeful future.

The academy

Better Future Pakistan is a Norway-based organization that has partnered with skilled coaches and local leaders to establish the Better Future Academy in Malir, Karachi. Our primary mission is to offer talented yet underprivileged children a platform to develop their skills and gain opportunities they wouldn’t otherwise have. Through our free football training program, we not only aim to nurture their athletic abilities but also provide them with a safe environment, steering them away from the streets and negative influences.

Our vision goes beyond sports. We aspire to integrate formal education into our academy, ensuring these children have access to both academic learning and football training. Additionally, we are working toward including girls in the academy, offering them equal opportunities to participate in sports and receive an education.

With Karachi facing an alarming dropout rate of 1.2 million children between the ages of 9 and 15, Better Future Academy is dedicated to making a difference. By fostering these children’s growth, we help them feel connected to their communities and empower them to realize their full potential, both on and off the field.
