The Winning Spirits Football Academy Limited was founded in 2026 with a bold and unshakeable vision: to become Nigeria's premier grassroots football development institution — and a credible pipeline from Nigerian soil to international pitches.
Born from years of football networking across continents — across UAE, Serbia, Turkey, Cyprus, Spain, Greece, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Togo, Benin Republic, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Libya, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and more, from Africa corridors to Arabia, Middle East, Asia, and European club offices — our founders understood that talent alone was never the problem. The problem was the pathway. We built the bridge.
Incorporated under the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020 (CAC Registration No. 9791819), TWSFA is a structured, transparent and professionally managed academy. And we have already delivered — with our players actively securing professional contracts across Europe and the Middle East.
We are a fully accredited institution, officially affiliated with the Oyo State FA, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), and the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), with active profiles on FIFA Connect and the FIFA Transfer Matching System (TMS) ID is 1533P.
"We identify raw talent, build technical excellence, and open doors that would otherwise remain closed."
