DOHA: Belgium’s second division football club KAS Eupen, owned by Aspire Zone Foundation (AZF) will have the Aspire Academy logos printed on their new jerseys when the new football season begins soon.  

Aspire Academy will be the main sponsor for the club as part of the overall deal of owning the club.

Many Aspire Academy  and Football Dreams players are associated with the first team of KAS Eupen for the 2013/2014 season. The logo will feature on the front of the club’s jerseys.   

In June 2012, a delegation of senior officials representing AZF including Ivan Bravo, Director General of Aspire Academy, Andreas Bleicher, Advisor international affairs AZF, and Josep Colomer, Director of Aspire Football Dreams, signed the deal with the Belgian club chairman Dieter Steffens. 

The agreement, which stipulates that AZF oversees the management of the football-related activities of KAS Eupen, further develops the Aspire Academy and Aspire Football Dreams (AFD) initiatives of AZF. 

AFD, a unique and fascinating humanitarian football project, specifically targets developing countries on three continents – Africa, Asia, and Latin America – and aims at identifying the future talents of world football.  Through international scholarships, the selected individuals from the developing countries are given the opportunity to improve their ability levels whilst receiving a well-rounded education at Aspire Academy or Aspire Senegal.
