Who we are, and where we come from

UYAFA carries its identity and its mission through the project “For your future: eat well, live actively, work your land and never waste your water!”, which is meant for talented boys and girls living in rural areas. After the years between 2008 and 2018, Anadolu Spor Akademisi went through a structural and institutional change in 2018 and continued under its present name, UYAFA.

Our mission

For your future: eat well, live actively, work your land and never waste your water!
