In this special episode of Football For Kids, Darren Rees kicks off the brand-new “You’ve Got This” series – three inspiring episodes to help kids build confidence as they head back to school this September.

Today’s story is all about Liverpool’s teenage wonderkid, Rio Ngumoha – the East London talent who made history by becoming Liverpool’s youngest-ever goalscorer at just 16 years old. From the football cages of Newham to the bright lights of Anfield, discover how Rio’s passion, persistence and belief turned him into one of the most exciting young players in the Premier League.

Along the way, Darren shares encouragement and advice for every child starting a new school, facing new challenges, or stepping into the unknown. Because just like Rio, every kid has the chance to shine – with courage, resilience and self-belief.

Perfect for young football fans, parents and teachers, this episode blends football stories with real-life lessons – reminding us all that no matter where we’re starting from: you’ve got this.
