Developing tomorrow's champions today — inside the proposed Typhoon Sports Village, the future home of the FC Nairobi First Team & Youth Academy.

Chapter 01

Develop complete footballers.

Inside the proposed Typhoon Sports Village — alongside the hotel, the Outdoor Leadership Centre and our grassroots programmes — the Youth Academy will be where the next generation of FC Nairobi footballers is built.

igh standards. Sharp minds. Positive attitudes. Every session is built around how elite footballers actually train, think and recover — and how young people grow into them. We are raising footballers who are technically fearless, mentally tough and grounded in the discipline and pride of the modern game.

The Youth Academy will operate inside the proposed Typhoon Sports Village — sharing pitches, recovery suites and dining with the hotel, the Outdoor Leadership Centre and our grassroots programmes. One campus. One standard. Open to clubs, schools and guests when our players are off the pitch.

Built to develop footballers. Built to host the very best.

03 — Guiding Principles

The way we develop.

Holistic Development

FC Nairobi Youth Academy will develop players who are sharp on the pitch and grounded off it — academics, life skills and character built alongside technical mastery.

Love for the Game

FC Nairobi Youth Academy will protect joy. Practice is rigorous, but the love for football is the foundation we never compromise.

Discipline and Structure

FC Nairobi Youth Academy aims to instil professional habits early — punctuality, respect, recovery, nutrition and the daily standards of the modern game.

Sports Science First

FC Nairobi Youth Academy will base every training block on data — physical load, biomechanics, sleep, recovery — so young footballers grow safely into the elite.

Learning Mindset

FC Nairobi Youth Academy will treat each session as a classroom. Curiosity, feedback, repetition and reflection turn talented kids into intelligent footballers.

Competitive Edge

FC Nairobi Youth Academy aims to expose every player to high-quality matches — local leagues, age-grade tournaments and international friendlies.

“FC Nairobi Youth Academy will not chase results — we will develop players who can sustain results for a generation.”

From first kick to first team.

Our Vision

We are powered by youth.

The Youth Academy is the engine of the club. The wider Typhoon Sports Village will open the same world-class environment to the East African community. One campus. One standard.
