The Cup of Hope is a football tournament for the youth. It targets mainly school teams from age 13 to U-17. But also clubs in that age range can participate, if they fullfill the requirements. 

It started 2015 in Chililabombwe, Copperbelt in Zambia because we wanted to engage the youth and instill hope in them, to hold on to their dreams and to learn teamwork and cooperation with each other to reach the goal. Sulanji Mwabala Naumann, the founder of the Cup of Hope, puts it like this:

"Through this Cup I wanted to give something back to the kids,

that they can prove their talent, their will and their passion for football."

But wait, there is more! Every team that is registered with the Cup of Hope, is participating in a workshop prior to Kick-off. These workshops are facilitated by trained medical missionaries and youth workers, that impute their knowledge about the 8 keys of health to the participants. These keys are of fundamental importance, to gain more strength and vigor, both physical and mental, so the young people can perform also in the future more and more excellent. By these measures we are contributing to building up Zambia as the beautiful and strong Nation she shall be.
