More Than A Club — A Movement For Young Talent
Founded in 2026, Central Force Football Academy & Club is rooted in Oha, Okpe LGA, Delta State, Nigeria, combining a competitive senior team with a thriving youth academy.
Built On Dusty Pitches, Driven By Big Dreams
Central Force Football Academy/Club came into existence on 5 January 2026 in Oha Community near Orerokpe, the headquarters of Okpe Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria. Before the Academy was established, Coach Kester Azum Adigwe saw young players from Oha and neighbouring communities gathering every evening to play barefoot at Ogwere Primary School.
After watching these talents for about twenty-four months, Coach Kester decided to create a structured pathway where players could be nurtured, guided and developed rather than left to chance. The December 2025 tournament became a defining moment, bringing together the young players who formed the Academy and the senior Football Club.
Today, the Academy is supported by six Assistant Coaches who lead different duties. The zeal of the players and coaches remains the propelling force moving Central Force forward.
Our Mission
To identify, develop and empower young male footballers aged 10–24 of every tribe, providing a clear pathway from grassroots to competitive football while shaping disciplined, educated young men.
Our Vision
To become the leading feeder academy in the Niger Delta — a recognised source of professional talent and a hub for coaching excellence across Nigeria.
Our Values
Discipline, unity across all tribes, integrity, hard work and community. We believe football is a vehicle for opportunity, education and lasting social impact.
Milestones So Far
Coach Kester Azum Adigwe began observing barefoot young players gathering every evening at Ogwere Primary School in Oha, recognizing the raw talent and passion in the community.
In December, a tournament organized by the Academy discovered more than 30 players aged 9–16 and over 40 players aged 17–24.
On January 5, Central Force Football Academy/Club was officially named in Oha Community near Orerokpe, Okpe Local Government Area, Delta State.
Oha Secondary School land measuring approximately two acres was approved as the Academy and Club practice ground.
