Who We Are
Martin Kafunda Football School (MKFS) is a grassroots football school founded in January 2025 by Gift Kafunda in honour of his late father, Martin Wesley Kafunda, who was a grassroots football coach and a strong believer in developing young people through sport.
MKFS was created to give young players an opportunity to learn, develop and enjoy football in a positive and structured environment.
We believe football is about more than just winning games. It is also about discipline, teamwork, confidence, character, responsibility and personal growth.
Our Philosophy
At MKFS, our goal is to develop the whole child — both as a footballer and as an individual.
We work with children of different abilities, from beginners who are discovering football for the first time to players who are looking to improve their skills and understanding of the game.
Through football, we aim to help every child become more confident, disciplined, respectful and willing to work with others.
Football Development

Teaching children discipline, respect, responsibility, teamwork and the importance of working hard
Helping young players build confidence, communication, leadership and positive habits that extend beyond football.
Our Motto
Every child deserves an opportunity to discover their ability, develop their potential and enjoy the journey.
At Martin Kafunda Football School, we are committed to creating that opportunity.
Our Commitment
