“In addition to our usual event on the pitch to celebrate grassroots football, we also engaged with elementary schools that recently participated in the 2025 GFA Football 4 Schools program to kick off the theme of next year’s program, which is ‘Be a Good Citizen’ through art,” said Samuel San Gil, GFA Director of Football Events. “We received close to 200 entries from nine schools, each with many colorful and insightful messages on how our youth perceive being a good citizen in the community.
“The entire month of May – from the GFA Football 4 Schools Jamboree on May 3 through to this art contest and the U8 Grassroots Football Festival on May 24 – was a great way to keep our young athletes involved in the sport, while also ushering in the summer season, with more opportunities in the upcoming months,” San Gil added. .....
