Ososa-Ijebu, Ogun State, Nigerian grassroots football is witnessing a remarkable transformation led by Franklin O. Currie, Founder and Director of Kiraa Football Academy, one of the fastest-growing youth football academies in the Southwest.

 

Established with a mission to nurture young talent, Kiraa Football Academy has become a beacon of hope for children and teenagers across the Ijebu axis. Under Franklin’s leadership, the academy focuses on technical training, discipline, character-building, and mentorship ensuring that young players grow both on and off the pitch.

 

Beyond the academy’s rapid rise, Franklin is pioneering a landmark initiative: the development of an eco-friendly community stadium in Ososa-Ijebu. This project aims to create a secure, modern space for sports, youth engagement, community events, and talent discovery. Once completed, it will serve as one of the few privately propelled sports infrastructures in the region.

Speaking on the project, Franklin shared his passion for youth development:

“Football changes lives, but only when the right structures exist. My goal is to build those structures  for our children, our community, and our future.”

 

His influence and dedication have earned the attention of stakeholders, scouts, and corporate bodies, positioning him as a key figure shaping the next phase of local football development.

 

As he continues to drive sustainable youth-focused initiatives, Franklin O. Currie is not only developing players, he is developing a legacy.
