PARTICIPANTS at this year’s Astro Kem Bola football development initiative had a ball as they strived to prove themselves in the fifth edition of the youth football development programme under the eyes of world- class coaches.

The stakes are high this year, especially after learning that the top 32 youths of the programme will earn a 10-day trip to Spain in December and train under one of the most successful soccer training methodologies on the planet created by F.C. Barcelona.
