WINDHOEK, May 17 (Xinhua) -- The football academy in the name of Namibia's England-based defender Ryan Nyambe has conducted free training sessions for over 30 boys and girls from various age groups in Windhoek.

The kick-off event was part of a series of three coaching clinics that aim to develop basic football skills, discipline and create a platform where the youth can get access to quality coaching, event organizer and founder of the academy Nyambe said Monday in a statement.

Nyambe said he was happy with the turn up of the trainees and was quite impressed with the amazing talent in the southwestern African nation.

"I am delighted and humbled to have started this initiative that's so close to my heart, growing up I was just a normal kid who played soccer in the streets of Windhoek, I was only privileged enough to have gone abroad at an early age where I was exposed to some of the best facilities, opportunities, and guidance in the UK," he said.

Nyambe said it is his dream to provide a platform to kids so that they too can one day be able to make their dreams come true and hopefully pass it on to other generations. Enditem
