Team description

In the heart of Johannesburg’s south, where challenges often outweigh opportunities, emerged a beacon of hope and determination: the Zerowa Christian Academy and Breakthrough Football Academy. Just two years ago, a group of boys from underprivileged socio-economic backgrounds came together, not just to play football, but to change their narrative. Their story is one of resilience and triumph. Despite the odds, they topped their region, proudly representing Central Gauteng. This achievement is not merely about winning games; it's about breaking barriers and defying expectations. But the success of this team goes beyond the football field. Every training session at Zerowa Christian Academy and Breakthrough Football Academy is infused with a dual purpose: excellence in sports and excellence in academics. The boys are not only trained to be formidable athletes but are also encouraged and supported to excel in their studies. This holistic approach ensures that they are well-prepared for life beyond school, whether they choose to pursue football professionally or any other career path. The commitment of the coaches and mentors to develop these boys fundamentally and holistically is evident in every aspect of their training. They work tirelessly to instill values of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance, ensuring that these young men grow not just as athletes, but as individuals of character and integrity. In just two short years, the Zerowa Christian Academy and Breakthrough Football Academy have created a legacy of hope, showing that with determination and the right support, even the most underprivileged can rise to the top and shine brightly. Their journey is a testament to the power of community, the strength of dreams, and the endless possibilities that arise from hard work and dedication.
