Supporting Genocide Victims
At Motherland 2025, we believe in using the power of sport to make a real difference. A significant portion of our proceeds from the Charity Cup goes directly to supporting victims of genocide and violent conflicts across Africa.
We partner with established humanitarian organizations to ensure funds reach those who need them most, providing medical care, psychological support, education, and rebuilding assistance.
Our Partner Organizations:
- • International Red Cross & Red Crescent
- • African Union Humanitarian Fund
- • Local NGOs in affected regions
- • Peace-building initiatives
A Landmark Tournament
The Motherland Cup 2025 is not just a competition; it is a celebration of our shared heritage and a testament to the unifying power of sports.
This inaugural edition, tagged the B.A.T EDITION, sets the stage for what will become an annual tradition, rotating through different African nations and potentially expanding to include teams from the Caribbean, South America, and Europe in future editions.
By bringing together the best of African football talent from around the world, we are creating a unique platform for cultural exchange, economic growth, and global recognition.
