1.2 million young people. one goal. we change the world through football.
“Sport haS the power to change the world. it haS the power to inSpire. it haS the power to unite people in a way that little elSe doeS.”
Nelson Mandela
football: the beautiful game. a uniVerSal language. our Shared culture.
Football is not just a game but rather a great uniting force. Whether at the final of the World Cup or on the streets of a rural town, it brings people together and instils them with a sense of community and companionship. This makes the beautiful game a powerful tool for social change.
On the pitch, a growing number of organisations now use football to promote the values of fair play, inclusion and respect. Off the pitch, they leverage the global passion for the game to get their participants into development programmes. And keep them there.
Welcome to the world of football for good.
