FRISCO, Texas, Nov. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MTX Group Inc
(MTX), a global technology consulting firm, officially announced a
new partnership with US-based nonprofit Ascent Soccer. The program
delivers education, critical life skills, character development,
nutrition and health care, and world-class soccer training and

leadership academy to expand transformational opportunities in
East Africa through soccer.
The collaboration will initially establish the first female
youth club soccer league in Malawi's capital city of Lilongwe, support new regional events and
tournaments and provide a centralized academy platform for female
empowerment and leadership. Additionally, MTX and Ascent Soccer are
committed to investing in increased educational opportunities and
improved quality of life for the participating athletes in
Malawi and Uganda.

significant, economically impactful and service-oriented manner,"
said MTX Founder and CEO Das Nobel. "Partnering with Ascent
Soccer allows us to build on a foundation of mutual commitment to
improving access to opportunities and the resources to
succeed."
Transformation at MTX extends beyond technology. With the
delivery of data-driven insights and meaningful quality-of-life
programs, MTX can advance the good of the community with outcomes
surrounding happiness, health and economics. The Ascent Soccer
partnership is a natural extension of MTX's existing local
collaborations to pursue meaningful impact in global communities
through sport.

development program with bases in Malawi and Uganda. Ascent Soccer empowers youth in need
to pursue their talents and achieve success, inspires and nurtures
