Football for Schools Program: 'Made in Benin' Outfits Valued in Cameroon

The FIFA 'Football for Schools' program was launched on March 25, 2026, in Yaoundé, featuring outfits produced in Benin from the Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone. This initiative aims to integrate football into educational systems and support local cotton transformation in African countries. FIFA President Gianni Infantino praised this approach that promotes local production for educational equipment. Benin, with an annual cotton production exceeding 700,000 tons, plays a key role in this strategy.
