More Than a Club—
A Lifeline for Young Dreams
Since 2010, we've transformed dusty fields into stages for future champions
Our History
"No child gets left behind."
In 2010, Mr. Mbatha turned a dusty field and a handful of mismatched jerseys into a sanctuary. Frustrated by seeing raw talent wasted to poverty and crime, he started Yanu Youth FC with one rule: 'No child gets left behind.'
Today, we're a family of 120+ players aged 8–18, proving that football isn't just a game—it's a ladder out of hardship.
