'Football For Good' is a global brand and football-led movement attached to the International Football For Good Day - with a worldwide agenda aimed at showcasing how the power of football brings people together. How football can champion peace, equality, diversity and inclusion.
How it can unite communities all over the world. And how it can inspire, educate and empower others to make a positive change – both for themselves and their communities.
The International Football For Good Day was created by Keith Mabbutt and formally launched as a new global campaign endeavour on Sunday 19th November 2023.The Football For Good Day is now an annual day of celebration and global amplification of football-led programmes and activities taking place over 24 hours across the Commonwealth and world as a whole, in celebration of how the global no.1 sport is being used as a force for good. The next (UK) FOOTBALL FOR GOOD DAY to be hosted by the Street Soccer Foundation will take place on FRIDAY 22 NOVEMBER 2024 at the iconic LONDON STADIUM, and will run from 10am to 5pm GMT. More than 200 young people from across the UK will take part in a one day national 5-a-side football tournament - with the final to be played on the Stadium pitch under the floodlights! In the UK, the Football For Good initiative is honoured to have the support from the Royal Family, as well as the Prime Minster and The Mayor of London, along with other valued key partners, and represents a national celebration of youth leadership, education, development and empowerment work delivered throughout the year.The work of the Street Soccer Foundation, as the founding member organisation of the initiative, is just one such example of how the power of football is being used to help others - with its Street Soccer Academy programme delivered in partnership with several professional football club community organisations nationwide across the UK.
