The Chipkizi Cup is the largest East African youth football tournament held in Tanzania. Each year, around 95 teams with 1300 boys and girls from 4 African nations take part and play circa 360 games on 10 fields. Over the last 8 years the Chipkizi Cup has become an established football tournament. Until 2023 Future Stars Academy aims to make an independent East African Tournament out of the Chipkizi Cup and attract more teams from inside Tanzania and neighboring countries, not only to play football but moreover to endorse social cohesion. For the past two years the Chipkizi Cup has also been visited by national and international scouts looking for fresh football talent. In 2023 the Chipkizi Cup will take place on the following dates:
