What do you think Boston will look like? What do you want the world to know about you? What are your football dreams? Through a highly competitive process, Festival 26 selected six CFK youth to represent Kenya in Boston at a FIFA World Cup global youth leadership and sports program in July. It’s been no small accomplishment to get to this point – out of 48 participating delegations, CFK is one of just four from Africa.
