The U12 recovered from a 0-4 defeat last week to obtain a 1-1 tie this week. The U17 has been tough beating its opponents by 3-0 and 3-1.Last week's friendlies were against Nacom FC's same category while this week it was against Gunners FA. The U10 and U12 teams are led by coach Joseph Kanjease while the U17 is led by coach Roy Nkabyo. The U15 of coach Njieaki are yet to play their first friendly.

[08/02/2025] - Coach Ngeh Njieaki alias Carlos joins the NFI as U15 Trainer
Join us in welcoming Coach Ngeh Njieaki alias Carlos into the NFI Family.
Coach Njie shall be in charge of the U15 team, this in line with our strategic vision.Popularly known as Coach Carlos, Ngeh Njieaki joined the Nkamanyi Football Initiative in the 2024/2025 season.
The move to the initiative came after alignment talks in which we found that the vision for the future is the same - providing the best educative training for young people with the view of actively pushing for the path of professional football and/or making them good future leaders.
He comes with a lot of experience. After starting his coaching career with Treviso FC Kumba in which he led the club to the 2014 mini interpools, he continued his move to Bang Bullet FC of Nkambe, an elite 2 football side. His love for the town of Kumba would see him come back and take PWD Kumba to the national interpools.
He further coached Kumba City FC, Foncha street FC and Legend FA, taking the later to the semi finals of the mini interpools.
At the Nkamanyi Football Initiative, Coach Ngeh will be taking care entirely of the U15 team. We are confident that our kids would profit from his rich experience as we continue to empower the youths of the city of Kumba through football. Coach Ngeh takes his further development as top priority and holds amongst others a Federal A license and a CAF C license. Read more...
[27/01/2025] - Strategic alignment at the NFI - Back to the roots
After more than 10 years in our venture of empowering kids in the city of Kumba, Cameroon, through football, we have taken time off to take a look at the environment in which we operate, where we are and where we intend to be. In doing so, we have concluded on taking a step backward and concentrating on the academy (the youth section).
Our strategy now consists of having our dedicated trained staff concentrate on the youth department (U10, U12, U15, U17). We have temporarily pulled the main team out of the SW regional league for the time being. We intend to come back as soon as conditions make this possible.
With this action, we intend to concentrate on talent discovery and targeted nurturing, so that our kids would have a better competitive chance tomorrow. For young people, this is the best time to join our academy.
We continue to follow up all the kids who have passed through the academy and are open to making the smooth transfer of the senior boys to other teams as easy as possible.
We are glad to have trained over 2000 boys and girls throughout the course of our more than 10 year history.
We remain committed to our goal of Empowering Kids Through Football.
