SOCCER FOR SOULS
Spreading the Gospel through soccer
What We Do
Soccer for Souls, founded by Arthur Nyandoro, reaches vulnerable young people in communities where the risks of addiction, delinquency, and exploitation are high. By organizing weekly soccer games and community tournaments that draw thousands of people, we create safe, engaging spaces that naturally lead to mentorship, counseling and opportunities to share the Gospel.
12,000 have given their lives to the Lord while attending soccer events.
Why It Matters
With over 70% of Africa’s population under 25, youth face significant challenges but also hold immense potential for change. Soccer for Souls helps young people discover purpose, hope, and a path toward a brighter, more meaningful future.
