Boca Junior Football Schools Indonesia Provides Scholarship to Young Talented Child

Partnership between Swiss German University (SGU) and Boca Junior Football Schools Indonesia (BJFSI) has been going for roughly 2 (two) years, started when BJFSI opened its fourth branch at SGU football arena. Through the partnership, the school has been holding its training sessions and recruitment for young talents ranging from 6 (six) to 18 (eighteen) years old at SGU football arena that is known for its FIFA-standard premium grass. 

In order to realize its vision and mission that is to produce minimum 2 (two) players each year for Pro Duta FC club as well as registering a number of names through international forum, BJFSI conducts free trial & scholarship selection with SGU’s football arena being one of the venues.

Raih Akbar Safaat, the son of SGU’s security guard Mr. Jufrie, who has been training with BJFSI since August 2015 passed 4 (four) required tests and was selected as BJFSI’s recipient of scholarship program that is a part of the school’s CSR initiative. Being 8 (eight) years old and still in the 2nd grade of primary school (SD), Akbar rose as the only scholar of his age. 

This further strengthens the objective of partnership between SGU and BJFSI that is to provide a medium where young talented children can be educated using international recognized training methods from Argentina and eventually to produce many world-class soccer players that were also produced by Boca Junior Football School such as Maradonna, Tevez and Batistuta.

We hope that the scholarship program from BJFSI will be a source of motivation to reach goals for Akbar and his entire family.
