Canary Wharf Football Academy is an independent football academy formed in November 2018 by 3 brothers, Ayas Ali, Aftar Ali & Foysol Ali with experience and knowledge over 20 years locally we are devoted to providing access for local residents in Tower Hamlets borough to take part in high level football coaching from FA level & UEFA B qualified coach for children aged 3 to 14 years old.

What are our motives:
Our main objective and motivation is tackle child obesity level in the borough which is one of the highest in the country, we intend to eradicate this by encouraging our youth to take up in physical activities which will benefit their health and well-being, free from anti-social behaviour whilst embracing multiculturalism. We aim to engage our youth in education and provide opportunities to access professional academies and set ups, we intend to create a mixed multicultural team that will consist of boys and girls of all faith that will participate in local tournaments and leagues in which they will gain vital experience playing in a structured football.

Who we work with:
We are currently in partnership with Cyril Jackson Primary School providing after school clubs on every Tuesday's between 3.30 to 4.30 pm for boys & girls aged 4 to 10 years old.

Success Story:

Through our academy training we have received enormous praises and positive feedback's from parents on how well their children are now performing in school and socially. Since we started the project we have been voted "Grassroots Project of the Year 2019" by London FA & Football Association which is a tremendous achievements considering thousands of grassroots projects operating throughout the country.

What we require:

We need support of local council & business to share the same ethos and core values at the same time investing in the local community project like ours, as you are aware the current situation lack of funding for local grassroots project is jeopardising the development of local youth of this borough & therefore Canary Wharf Football Academy would like to change the perception of this through your help and collaboration.
