Kick4Life F.C. Team Histories

Men’s Team

Kick4Life staff, volunteers, coaches and participants started playing together as a team in the local Maseru League in 2008, as a chance to play competitive football alongside Kick4Life’s charity programs. In 2009 Kick4Life ran a HIV education course for Premier League players in partnership with LEFA. Two of the players had a great passion for what Kick4Life was doing and decided to join the team, which was already playing in the A Division South, one below the top flight. In 2013/14 the team was promoted to the Lesotho Premier League for the first time.
