    A Football Conversation Most Players Never Get to Hear

    Football has the power to change lives—but only if we’re willing to rethink how the game is built. In the very first FC Game Changer × FTBLRLIFE Classroom Session, hosts Armando França Filho and Dave Clarke sit down with Marti Torres, CEO of New Hera Interconnection, for a deep, honest conversation on football, purpose, and global impact. Marti founded New Hera just three years ago, yet it has already become a visionary force shaping the future of African football. Guided by the belief that sport is a bridge to opportunity, New Hera works with clubs, academies, schools, and communities to create systems rooted in education, inclusion, and long-term development. This episode explores: - Why football is one of the most powerful tools for social change - The realities of athlete development beyond highlight reels - The future of African football—and what it needs to thrive - How players can be prepared for meaningful lives beyond the game You’ll also hear live questions from players and coaches, making this more than a podcast—it’s a shared learning space for the global football community. If you believe football is more than a game… If you care about development, opportunity, and impact… This conversation is for you! Classroom Homework - Homework #1: Learn about Johan Cruyff—one of the greatest players and coaches of all time. Study his philosophy and master his signature move, the Cruyff Turn. Challenge yourself to practice it and share your progress on social media by tagging @FCGameChanger, @FTBLRLIFE, and @NewHeraInterconnection. - Homework #2: Commit to bettering yourself every day beyond football. Learn something practical—about life, money, leadership, or personal growth—so when your playing career ends, you’re ready for what comes next. - Subscribe for more Classroom Sessions, real conversations, and global football insights. - Share this with someone who believes in football as a tool for change.
