Decentralized Football Academy (DFA) is a blockchain-based charitable football academy, located in Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬.

We believe in the principles of hard work, dedication, teamwork, and vision. Decentralized Football Academy is comprised of a youthful team, fueled by a passion for success and set an example for their peers.

Logistics:

DFA started by utilizing the DPOS platform Hive Blockchain and other platforms such as LBRY for earning rewards, by posting Team training activities, News, Soccer Drills, and Crypto-related topics. Andre Gray Football Coaching Academy (AGFA) inspired the creation of the Decentralized Football Academy in 2018.

DFA joined the Grape Protocol Community in 2021 and Mr. Papa Dean announced their sponsorship in June 2021 for the charitable football academy. The support has added a great impact to the academy and has led DFA to delve into the Solana blockchain gaming world, thanks to Mr. Barndog for the initiative and support, and thanks to the STEPN Team for giving us the chance to explore their beautiful gaming app by donating Sneaker NFTs to DFA Team. The first game DFA has explored is the run-2-earn mobile app STEPN built on the Solana blockchain. The Grape Protocol has been the best blockchain to have ever happened to Decentralized Football Academy. The Grape Protocol is a blessing to DFA!
