Turning dreamsinto reality.
Discovery, development and exposure of young football talents for professionalism — and the official youth football development partner of the Embassy of Hungary in Abuja and the Abia State Government.
An academy built to move players on.
We are an organisation for the discovery, development and exposure of young football talents for professionalism, founded on 15 December 2008 and fully registered and affiliated.
We are deliberate in saving the future and the education of the young stars in our care. Our track record and consistency have repositioned us as the official youth football development partner of the Embassy of Hungary in Abuja and of the Abia State Government through the Ministry of Sports and Youth Development.
The Academy provides a minimum standard training facility, structured player development programmes, and an ecosystem that integrates education, mentorship and career progression for talented aspiring footballers.

Develop
A three-stage programme from U13 to U19 built on total football and one-touch play — the European pass-and-move methodology.

Expose
Trials with professional clubs in Europe, our own international talent-hunt championship, and best-moment video clips sent to our foreign partners.
Nine players. Four countries. Real trophies.
Over the years we have recorded remarkable success in the international football transfer market. These are the players who came through Dreamland and signed abroad.
