In May 2011, our Founder and Executive Director, Benjamin Levey, founded the Likoni Community Football League (LCFL). There, in one of the poorest areas of Mombasa, Kenya, Levey worked with local coaches to form an organization that supports hundreds of children each year through the power of the game.
Since 2011, while overseeing the LCFL from abroad, Levey brought his passion for sport and development back home to Columbus, Ohio. He has founded, managed and operated several sports and development nonprofit organizations, events and programs, including F3 Soccer & Literacy Program, F3
Our Story
