Ocean Business Partners drives new push to build Zanzibar football talent pipeline

Ocean Business Partners is spearheading efforts to develop a structured football talent pipeline in Zanzibar through a proposed partnership bringing together Yanga Soccer School, Dulla Sunday Sports Academy and Brazil-based PQ Cruzeiro.

The initiative follows discussions last week between Ocean Business Partners’ Abdulsamad Abdulrahim and officials from Yanga Soccer School at his office, where the parties explored a framework for developing young football talent from grassroots level to higher levels of competition. The Yanga delegation was led by Director of Competitions Ibrahim Mohamed and included Youth Teams Coordinator Khamis Jecha and Yanga Soccer School Head Coach Haitham Saadun.
