Singapore / Funafuti, Tuvalu – June 2026

Koach Hub is proud to announce the signing of a strategic partnership with the Tuvalu Islands Football Association (TIFA), marking a significant step forward in the development of football across one of the world’s most unique island nations.

The partnership will focus on building Tuvalu’s first national football data infrastructure, creating a digital record of player development, competition performance, and football participation across the country. By digitising football information and player journeys, the initiative seeks to strengthen talent identification, support player progression, and ensure that promising footballers can be discovered and monitored throughout their development.

A Shared Vision for Football Development
As part of the partnership, TIFA and Koach Hub will explore initiatives aimed at improving player visibility, supporting youth development programmes, and creating sustainable football structures that can benefit future generations of Tuvaluan footballers.

Michiel van der Werf, Technical Director of the Tuvalu Islands Football Association, welcomed the partnership, stating:
The implementation of Koach Hub will also strengthen our football administration and development framework, providing TIFA with the tools and data required to support its ongoing efforts towards securing full membership with the Oceania Football Confederation. By centralising player information, development records, and football activities on a single platform, TIFA will be better positioned to demonstrate structured governance, player development pathways, and grassroots engagement—key areas that support the federation’s long-term growth and international recognition.

Tariq Cassim, CEO of Koach Hub, commented:
“Data is becoming one of the most powerful tools in modern football. Our partnership with TIFA is about ensuring that Tuvalu’s players are not left behind in the digital era of the game. By creating verified player profiles and capturing meaningful football data, we can help provide greater visibility for players, support better decision-making for coaches, and build a sustainable football ecosystem that benefits the entire football community. We believe every player deserves the opportunity to have their football journey documented, recognised, and shared with the world.”

The partnership reflects Koach Hub’s continued commitment to supporting emerging football nations and strengthening grassroots ecosystems worldwide. By combining TIFA’s local expertise and commitment to football development with Koach Hub’s digital platform and international reach, both organisations aim to create meaningful and lasting social impact through sport.

This agreement further expands Koach Hub’s growing global footprint and reinforces its mission of connecting football communities, developing talent, and making football opportunities more accessible to players everywhere.
