STFITC have welcomed the arrival of our 5 guests from Zambia. The Zambia Project was set up in 2008 and this reciprocal visit will further enhance the development of the partnership with the 3 Zambian coaches working alongside the full time STFITC staff whilst gaining an understanding of Community Football Development in England. The 2 young Zambian players will train with the STFC Youth Team which will give them insight into the life of a professional footballer.

STFITC Trust Manager Jon Holloway commented ‘ It is wonderful to welcome our friends from Livingstone Zambia to STFC and the Community of Swindon. Since 2008 and the creation of this partnership it has been one of our long term aims to host some coaches and young players from Zambia. This visit is the culmination of a huge amount of hard work and support in making it possible, and I know how sincerely appreciative the people of Livingstone are to have this partnership with STFITC. I would like to thank everyone who has been part of our Zambia Project which has benefited both the Community of Livingstone and Swindon.’
