Founded by a Legend: How Segun Odegbami’s SOCA Is Shaping Champions in Sports and Academics

When a Nigerian football legend builds a school, it’s not just another academy, it’s a vision with purpose. That’s exactly what SOCA, Segun Odegbami International College and Sports Academy represents.

Founded by one of Nigeria’s greatest footballers, Chief Segun Odegbami, SOCA is transforming the lives of young boys and girls by combining academic excellence with world-class football development, all in a disciplined, nurturing environment.

If you’re a parent looking to give your child the tools to succeed in life, whether on the pitch or in the classroom, or a student passionate about football and education, SOCA is the future you’ve been waiting for.

🏆 A School Built by a Legend with a Purpose

Chief Segun Odegbami, also known as “Mathematical Odegbami”, is one of Nigeria’s most iconic footballers. A hero of the 1980 African Cup of Nations, he scored twice in the final and played a vital role in putting Nigerian football on the global map.

But Odegbami's dreams went beyond trophies. He saw a gap in Nigeria, a place where young talents were forced to choose between their love for football and their academic future.

And so, he founded SOCA, a school where books and boots walk side by side, where young people are trained to be great athletes, excellent students, and leaders of tomorrow.
