Short profile of the FAFA-Executive board
Jürgen Henneberger
Jürgen Henneberger
Co-founder of the Free Africa Football Academy
Since 2014 I have been active in Ghana and visit the country regularly. Many intensive experiences and encounters have shaped me, friendships have developed.
"The world is what you think of it" is my motto. I think Africa is a wonderful continent.
The nature is overwhelmingly beautiful, the people peaceful, warm and very close to nature. We can learn a lot from each other!
In October 2019 a woman in Accra took care of me when I needed help. She said: "We are ONE human race, we all share the same blood..."
The foundation of this association is a matter close to the heart. I would like to build bridges, but not because of economic interests (unfortunately there are far too many), but on the basis of understanding and humanity.

Co-founder of the Free Africa Football Academy
What are your motives for helping to shape this project?
My life motto:
"I want to make my possible contribution to the world."
Together with my family I visited Ghana several times. This was a wonderful experience for all participants and confirmed to me again that it is the right way to start my own heart project here.
How do you share your enthusiasm for the Free Africa Football Academy with the world?
By founding the club, I have shared my enthusiasm and commitment with activities such as a benefit concert, various fundraisers and lectures. Further ideas and concepts are still ahead of me and my helpers, so that as many children as possible will have the chance to realize their life's dreams thanks to the Free Africa Football Academy.
What is your personal motto?
Let the voice of your heart guide you. Do good, share and be open to the needs of others.
