Hoyo-hoyo to ISSEA Football at AISM
On behalf of the American International School of Mozambique, it is our pleasure to welcome all players, coaches, officials, and supporters to ISSEA Football 2026. We are proud to be hosting this event for the first time and excited to bring together our ISSEA community here in Maputo.
Welcome to Mozambique, to AISM, and to this year’s ISSEA Football Championship.
It is a privilege to be able to host this event and to host such a talented group of footballers, coaches, and supporters from our larger ISSEA community.
Football has a unique way of connecting people across schools, cultures, and countries. Over the coming days, we hope this tournament is about more than just results. It is an opportunity for our student-athletes to compete with purpose, represent their schools with pride, and build friendships that extend well beyond the final whistle.
ISSEA events are a celebration of both performance and character. We encourage all athletes to play with intensity, to respect their opponents and officials, and support one another throughout the tournament. These ISSEA Moments, on and off the pitch, are often what stay with students long after the games are finished.
To our visiting schools, thank you for making the journey to join us. To our coaches, staff, officials, and volunteers, thank you for the care and effort that makes events like this possible.
We wish all teams a competitive, enjoyable, and memorable tournament.
Welcome to AISM, and welcome to the home of the Buffalos.

To our visitors: we hope you feel welcomed and supported throughout your time here.
