Although Makinz Sports Promotions Limited was officially incorporated on 18 December 2018, the journey began in September 2018 when Makinz Football Academy was established with just 10 young players and two coaches.
The defining moment came during the COVID-19 lockdown in April 2020. Founder and CEO Akinboni Koleola Benson restarted the academy with just one player—Divine Kanu—at the Iron Bridge Training Ground in FHA, Lugbe, Abuja. The quality of training quickly attracted others; what began as a one-player session grew into a squad of more than 45 players.
Today Makinz competes in the FCT Division One League and continues its vision of becoming one of Africa’s leading football development organisations.
We develop complete footballers through a modern, player-centred approach inspired by Tiki-Taka—intelligent movement, quick passing, creativity, and positional awareness. Coaching combines practical training with video analysis and individual development plans.
To identify, nurture, and develop talented young footballers through world-class coaching and internationally recognised methodologies—equipping them with technical excellence, tactical understanding, physical conditioning, mental strength, and character.
Every player trains, develops, and excels in a professional environment designed to unlock their full potential.
