About Football for Hope

1 About Football for Hope Football has become a vital instrument for hundreds of social development programmes run by non-governmental and community-based organisations all around the world. These programmes are providing children and young people with valuable tools to actively make a difference in their own lives. By addressing the most pressing issues in each community, the programmes are contributing to positive social change on a global scale. In support of these efforts and as part of its corporate social responsibility, FIFA initiated Football for Hope in 2005 to offer funding, equipment, training and more visibility, as well as a platform for discussion and collaboration. The ultimate goal is to use the world s most popular sport to spark positive change for a better future. The support provided by FIFA through Football for Hope has already benefited more than 250 programmes in over 60 countries on all continents. HIV/AIDS education, conflict resolution, gender equality, social integration of people with intellectual disabilities, capacity building, work training, peace building, youth leadership and life skills are just some of the objectives pursued.
