The project aims to equip footballers with the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to pursue other careers, such as coaching, management, media, and business. The goal is to provide footballers with the tools and resources they need to succeed in a new career and to help them make a seamless transition into their post-football life. By empowering footballers with new skills and opportunities, the project helps to create a brighter future for them and their families, while also contributing to the development of the sport and the wider community.
Diski Foundation will partner with training institutions to equip retired players with the skills they need to find employment. Most players only know football however not all will end up as coaches or in the media. The programme will enable former players, willing to work, to be trained and placed in good-paying jobs.
