From Soofia to Azerbaijan: Lenong Karabo Represents Lesotho at the FIFA U-15 World Football Festival

Soofia International School proudly celebrates one of its own, Lenong Karabo, who earned the honour of representing Lesotho as part of the U-15 Boys National Football Team at the inaugural FIFA U-15 World Football Festival in Azerbaijan.

This remarkable opportunity marks an exciting milestone in Lenong’s sporting journey, as he joins fellow young footballers from across the country to showcase their talent on an international stage.

The team’s journey included a training and competition tour in Johannesburg, South Africa, where they also had the opportunity to participate in football activities alongside Kaizer Chiefs. The international programme in Azerbaijan took place from 19 October to 1 November 2026, bringing together young football talents in a celebration of football, development and international sporting exchange.

Lenong’s selection is a testament to his dedication, discipline and passion for football. It also highlights the importance of nurturing young talent and providing learners with opportunities to pursue excellence beyond the classroom.

At Soofia International School, we believe in developing well-rounded learners by supporting academic achievement, sporting excellence, creativity and personal growth. Lenong’s achievement reflects the value of hard work, perseverance and the courage to pursue big dreams.

We congratulate Lenong on this incredible milestone and commend the entire Lesotho U-15 squad for representing the nation.

From the classrooms and playing fields of Soofia to the international football stage, Lenong reminds us that great journeys begin with a dream.

Congratulations, Lenong! Keep shining and continue making Soofia and Lesotho proud! 🇱🇸⚽
