British Football Academy changing game in KZN - and beyond

Cape Argus

July 29, 2025

THE British Football Academy (BFA) in Pinetown is slowly turning dreams into reality — not just for ambitious teenage footballers in KwaZulu-Natal, but for South African development structures as a whole.

British Football Academy changing game in KZN - and beyond

Backed by England-based duo John Read and Peter Coyle, BFA has brought a new rhythm to youth development by giving township talents more than hope — they're offering a passport to the big stage.

Since partnering with Pinetown Boys High School in 2023, the academy has been expanding both in vision and impact.

The aim?

To bridge the gap between raw talent in South Africa and professional football abroad, with clubs like Queens Park Rangers already keeping a close eye on the progress.

More than just a pipeline to Europe, BFA has made its presence felt locally.
