These final six coaches will now compete in a public vote on FutureStars.WorldRemit.com for the chance to attend an exclusive training programme with Arsenal Soccer Schools in London – fully sponsored by WorldRemit.

The finalists facing a public vote include: Adegun Shola John from Lagos, Nigeria; Ahmed Ali from Hargeisa, Somaliland; Hamisi Mohamed from Nairobi, Kenya; Innocents Yeboah-Num from Abease, Ghana; Tersia Davids from Cape Town, South Africa; and Titus Tongesai Sanangurai from Harare, Zimbabwe

The programme was designed to recognise and reward the valuable contribution of youth coaches to their local community and has already granted Arsenal replica shirts to over 500 kids whose coaches were shortlisted for the programme by the judging panel.

WorldRemit has filmed the finalists during their coaching sessions and the videos will be shown on the Future Stars (FutureStars.WorldRemit.com) website, where members of the public can vote for their preferred candidate. Voting on futurestars.worldremit.com will open on 28th September.

A key part of the successful coach’s training at Arsenal will focus on how they will use the opportunity to build a lasting legacy in their home country.

The finalists have therefore been selected based on the strength of their existing contribution to the community as well as their plans and ability to pass on their new skills on their return home.

The six coaches were chosen from a shortlist of 25 individuals who were selected by the judging panel earlier this month. One in six of the 25 shortlisted coaches were women and, as the programme moves into the final selection phase, Tersia Davids from South Africa becomes the one woman amongst the six finalists to face the public vote.

“Arsenal has the most successful women’s side in England and is actively involved in encouraging greater participation from females in the game regardless of age.

“We were very impressed by the work that all these coaches were already doing in their community and the work of the women coaches further emphasises the positive impact that encouraging more women to get involved in coaching can have. We hope that their success will encourage more women to follow their lead,” remarked Simon McManus of Arsenal Soccer Schools.
