KNVB WorldCoaches – Football for Life Skills programme!

We at TAKT are incredibly happy and proud to have been selected as the local partner for the implementation of the KNVB WorldCoaches – Football for Life Skills programme!

A big thank you to the Embassy of the Netherlands in North Macedonia for their trust and support.

We are excited to share that Kočani is the first city in North Macedonia to join this important programme, implemented by the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) with the support of UEFA.

This milestone was marked by the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to North Macedonia, Özlem Canel, and the Mayor of Kočani, Vlatko Grozdanov, officially confirming Kočani’s participation in this global initiative that uses football as a tool for positive social change.

In the coming period, TAKT will support the training of local coaches, teachers, and volunteers who will use football to help children develop self-confidence, leadership, teamwork, respect for diversity, social inclusion, and healthy lifestyles.

Football for Life Skills is not about creating professional football players—it is about creating a safe, inclusive, and positive environment where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential.

We believe that this partnership will help build a stronger, more cohesive, and more resilient community, where young people have greater opportunities for personal development through sport.
