Ascent Soccer

Anything for football.

We’re constantly reminded of the love of the game everywhere we go in Malawi 🇲🇼

Dirt pitches, no boots, no ball, no excuses, everyone wants to play ⚽️

Our latest trip to the southern region of Malawi was yet another moment to appreciate the desire of each young person to play the game they love 🏔
