HARNESSING THE POWER OF FOOTBALL TO CHANGE LIVES
We support local leaders to create opportunities for young people through football, combining funding with training, mentoring and a global community of practitioners.
OUR METHODOLOGY
Through our academy, we equip teachers and community leaders with the skills to design and implement football-based projects that drive social change for young people, which includes training on football for development and safeguarding.
Selected applicants take part in a 1 year program (sometimes 2, depending on needs) providing everything they need to become Project Leaders, including funding, further training and hands-on support in social project management and football coaching.

Project Leaders join a global alumni community, staying connected through virtual and in-person events. They share knowledge amongst each other, support new Project Leaders with best practice and champion football for development worldwide.
