about us

The Kenny Niemach Football Foundation was born from one man’s dream to give back through the sport that shaped his life. After years of success as a professional footballer and coach, Kenny Niemach founded the Foundation to open doors for children who might otherwise never get the chance to shine.

From grassroots training to mentorship and education, the Foundation’s work is about more than football — it’s about building better people and stronger communities.

Vision

To empower and uplift the youth of South Africa through football by providing access to quality training, facilities, and mentorship, while building life skills, hope, and opportunities for a brighter future.

Mission

To use football as a transformative tool that fosters discipline, teamwork, development, and inclusion — especially in under-resourced and vulnerable communities.

Core Values

Integrity | Passion | Inclusivity | Empowerment | Commitment to Excellence
