Awqaf SA assists the Cape Flats Football Academy

This is a thank you letter that was received by Awqaf SA’s Deputy CEO Mickaeel Collier and we decided it publish it on our website to share the success stories of the Cape Flats Football Academy.

Dear Mickaeel, This letter is a small and sincere gesture of thank you from Cape Flats Football Academy under 19 team and our management for our April 2017 tour to Qatar. With the assistance of so many companies, our City of Cape Town, our South African Embassy in Qatar, The Supreme Committee 2022 and private individuals the tour was a resounding success.

The tour was also part of the players own personal development to enhance their understanding of life beyond the shores of South Africa, understanding different cultures and traditions.

Awqaf SA, played a part to make this a reality, much appreciated. Over the next few months we will be doing one on one assessments with the players to determine a career path for each of them that will create a sustainable opportunity for each of them and in turn, they become Ambassadors of their communities and country.
It is our intention to make this an annual tour leading up to the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. We already in discussions with various parties and we trust and hope we will be able to call on Awqaf SA to continue the partnership too.

Thank You, once again for becoming involved with our tour. Best Regards

Mr. Ashraf Allie CEO CAPE FLATS FOOTBALL ACADEMY (CFFA)
