HMS Portland, a British Royal Naval Type 23 frigate will be visiting Cape Town on the 4 and 5 April 2014. The ship's crew along with Fives Futbol will be hosting an outreach session at the V&A Waterfront whereby approximately 120 underprivileged kids will be given the opportunity to partake in uplifting sports activities.
"We at Fives are very excited to be a part of such a fantastic and inspiring event, working with my country of birth and using sport, arguably the most powerful social tool, to tackle current issues", says Adam Fine, CEO of Fives Futbol.
The British Council Premier Skills and Commonwealth Class programmes will take on local schoolchildren from Capricorn Primary School and Grassroots Soccer on Saturday, 5 April. Fives Futbol is supporting the session by sponsoring a 60m by 30m Adidas blow up court and speed gun for the day. These kids will be given the opportunity to partake in activities such as five-a-side football and more, with hopes to educating and enriching their lives.
