The Commonwealth comprises 56 independent countries from across Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and the Pacific. With 2.5 billion citizens living in Commonwealth countries, more than 60% are aged under 29, representing more than 1.5 billion young people.
The Street Soccer Foundation is very proud to be endorsed by The Commonwealth and show its support to the Year of Youth declaration and now invites global partnerships from across all 56 nations to come together to showcase how the global no.1 sport is being used as a true force for good.
Football For Good is a global movement 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.
In its inaugural year, the INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL FOR GOOD DAY took place on Sunday 19th November 2023 and now intends on becoming an annual global amplification of football-led programmes and activities taking place over 24 hours across the Commonwealth, in celebration of how the global no.1 sport can be used as a force for good.
In the UK, the Football For Good initiative has the additional support from the Royal Family, the Prime Minster, and The Mayor of London, as well as other key partners, and represents a national celebration of youth leadership, education, development and empowerment work delivered throughout the year via the nationally acclaimed Street Soccer Academy programme, delivered in partnership with several professional football club community organisations nationwide. It is the no.1 football-led project tackling youth homelessness in the UK.
The Football For Good Day in the UK in 2023 also saw the first-ever London Stadium Sleepout event to be staged, which gave individuals from across the City of London the chance to show their support in tackling youth homelessness through the power of football, by sleeping outdoors on the North Deck inside the Stadium, for a night that will never be forgotten.
Another Sleepout event is planned for the Football For Good Day in November 2024. Details on how to get involved will be released in due course.
Football is a team sport.
