Overview

The Likoni Community Football League was established in May 2011 in Mombasa, Kenya. It provides a competition base that exposes young people to the sport of soccer and provides opportunities to create leaders within the community. The LCFL is used as a gateway for other organizations to educate and enrich the lives of thousands of Likoni’s children. The LCFL currently operates on a round-the-year calendar. League play overlaps and co-exists with the school year nine months out of the year running from January to March and May to September with games being played every Sunday (with due time-out for Ramadan.) The LCFL holds annual coaching and referee clinics for any league member wishing to attend. Also, the LCFL holds Peace & Security, Anti-drugs, HIV/AIDS, and female empowerment programs that are scheduled during season play. Today, the LCFL has 36 Boys teams and 2 registered Girls teams. The LCFL is a small organization with a large impact, effecting over 800 children and many coaches throughout the whole year.
