Jane Mlambo| Three Zimbabweans have been shortlisted as “Future Stars” in a pioneering new football coaching programme from Arsenal and WorldRemit.

The Future Stars programme was launched in August to offer local youth coaches from across Africa the chance to attend an exclusive new training camp with Arsenal’s top Soccer Schools coaches in London.

The three Zimbabweans in the shortlist are Knowledge Chingwecha, Knowledge Jemwa and Titus Tongesai Sanangurai all from Harare.

Knowledge Chingwecha from Zengeza, Harare is one the three shortlisted for the Future Stars Programme

The inspiration for the programme came when WorldRemit, the official online money transfer partner of Arsenal Football Club, brought Arsenal youth coaches to Zimbabwe for an informal community tournament and coaching clinic in April this year.

The programme received over 700 applications in just one week from across Africa. A shortlist of 25 coaches has been selected by a judging panel of representatives from Arsenal and WorldRemit.
