In the upcoming years the financial developments in Ambon will grow exponentially, creating a climate where bigger and foreign companies will settle in the region. To make sure the local population can benefit fully from this development it is of the utmost importance that we realize this project as fast as possible.
We will provide the grounds and will support the development of the sports facilities. It is important that we have a partner that has knowledge on schooling, the school will be built on our own grounds so we can make sure it will always be available and accessible for the children of the region and to give perspective to generations to come.
For the future we are currently planning an expansion of 10 new academies within Indonesia, These academies will provide the foundation with nationwide coverage so talented players can play and develop in their local area. It is also our intention to open up these facilities for the local population to use.
On every location we intend to provide Dutch support staff for managing, training, scouting and other important positions. Every location will have a dedicated scouting staff that will be supervised by a national head scout, This way we can create a nation covering network of scouts that can cover larger cities and surrounding areas. This will also include local football camps and master classes.
The plan is to provide the following cities with a academy; Makassar, Balikpapan ,Surabaya, Yogjakarta, Semarang, Bogor, Jakarta, Palembang , Pandang and Medan.
Dutch Indonesian Soccer Academy
The intention for this year is to work with about 400 talented players which already been scouted all over Ambon. Those talents we want to follow special sport related education.
In case a player seems not developing enough to continue the sports class we guarantee that he can for fill the whole education program till his graduation. After graduation we will offer the possibility to work with one of our projects from our organization on other locations (islands) around Ambon. That’s how we help the kids who not succeed to start a carrier as a professional soccer player with a nice job, perhaps in sports. In this way we deliver a contribution to the community of Ambon and for broadening the activities, education level and employment. This is a nice combination for the city of Ambon, a good example for the rest of the Moluccas and therefore for the whole of Indonesia. Due to this success, the government understand that the Moluccas is also entitled to extra support for schools (which already was promised during our meeting in October 2019 with the governor).
