TackleAfrica have launched a special World Cup edition of their Coaching Manual which is printed and being circulated to thousands of coaches across Africa during The World Cup.

Speaking about the Manual Fulham and Ghana Midfielder John Pantsil said “In any team I’ve played in it’s important to strike the right balance. TackleAfrica’s World Cup Manual strikes the perfect balance, a great resource both for HIV/AIDS education whilst also helping kids improve their football skills with a smile on their faces”
