\u201cMarina\u201d symbolizes the background of the founders. The logo has a lighthouse which symbolizes \u201cHOPE\u201d for every seafarer which tells them that land is nearby and their destination is closer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Likewise, the lighthouse in our logo symbolizes HOPE for every football player. With the right guidance in the right direction every footballer can realize their goals and experience their dream of becoming a professional player manifested in real life.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have battled enough rough tides, stormy weathers and are seasoned to tackle any challenge thrown at us.\u00a0<\/span>It is this undying fighting spirit which we aim to inculcate in our players. Together we will learn to create opportunities for ourselves by committing to our dreams and pursuing them with determination.<\/span><\/p>\n
