The 2026 edition of the All Star Festival (ASF) is set to deliver an unforgettable experience for children and families with the launch of the KIDS Experience, a specially curated platform designed to combine football development, entertainment, and talent discovery.
The initiative will provide young football enthusiasts with the rare opportunity to train and interact directly with renowned international football icons as well as some of Ghana’s finest local stars.
Beyond the training sessions, the KIDS Experience promises a vibrant family atmosphere featuring face painting, video games, bouncy castles, and a host of engaging activities tailored specifically for children.
A major highlight of the programme will be the staging of an exciting skating and match exhibition aimed at inspiring young athletes and encouraging active participation in sports.
In addition, professional scouts will be present throughout the festival, offering promising young players an invaluable opportunity to showcase their abilities and potentially take the next step in their football journeys.
The initiative has already received strong backing from youth football institutions, including KAPIKISS Soccer Academy. Speaking on behalf of the academy, Coach Bernard expressed excitement about participating in the festival and encouraged parents to take advantage of the unique opportunities the event offers.
Founded just three years ago, KAPIKISS Soccer Academy has experienced remarkable growth, expanding from an initial enrolment of 10 children to approximately 150 young players.
The academy attributes this progress to dedication, community support, and a commitment to nurturing young talent.
We have been sharing information about the All Star Festival with our parents and community because we believe it is an exceptional opportunity for children,” the academy stated. “We are confident that our families will come out in their numbers to be part of this exciting experience.”
Parents are being encouraged to attend the festival with their children and enjoy the numerous attractions available. From football clinics and star interactions to entertainment activities and talent scouting opportunities, the KIDS Experience aims to create lasting memories while inspiring the next generation of football stars.
