“At Gazelles Sports Academy, we believe in developing complete athletes, skilled, disciplined, and prepared for life beyond football.” Daniel Eromu highlights.
The leadership is committed to creating a structured environment that matches modern sports academy standards across the world.
With a strong passion for youth empowerment, the academy is looking beyond Lira City and plans to reach every district in the Lango Sub-region with a campus by the year 2035.
