About Us
The ultimate destination for nurturing talent into professional competence.
SAQ Goalkeeping Academy was founded by Lanre Raji, a UEFA A and UEFA B Goalkeeping licensed coach who has spent over 30 years doing what he loves most, helping elite athletes reach their full potential.
Lanre's journey has taken him to some of the biggest clubs in English football, including West Ham, Arsenal, Norwich, QPR, and Brentford, as well as working with the Ghana National Team. Along the way, he earned a BSc in Sports Psychology and a Diploma in Professional Football Coaching.
At SAQ, we are passionate about developing goalkeepers from grassroots right through to the elite level. We know that goalkeeping is a unique position that demands specialist care, so we focus on building the complete athlete: technical skills, tactical awareness, and the mental resilience to thrive under pressure.
