Djibril: A Kick Off for Connections
Djibril founded Universal Language - “I Speak Football”, an idea coming from his own experience of arriving in the UK with English as a second language. He built the project to offer that same pathway to others. The idea is to help young migrants and refugees improve their English through football sessions that incorporate language classes, mentoring, and advisory support.
