Kapi Natto commended the vision of former Manager of Arsenal FC Arsene Wegner for his foresight introducing the Football For School as per FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s vision to drive football across the globe.
With the Memorandum of Understanding in place with Education Department, Kapi Natto said PNGFA now can work closely with Education Department to roll-out the programme throughout the country.
