‘Football For Good’ is a worldwide project initiative formally and officially endorsed by The Commonwealth, which was originally devised by Keith Mabbutt (Founder, Street Soccer Foundation).
The Football For Good project endeavour was first launched in support of The ‘Year of Youth’ 2023 – and now seeks to support and empower young people all across the world through the Football For Good brand, movement and educational and recreational activities.
As the Global project initiative of the Street Soccer Foundation, the charity invites global partnerships from across the world to come together to showcase how the no.1 sport is being used as a true force for good.
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 at the heart of ‘Football For Good’ and with the endorsement from The Commonwealth in its collective support of the Year of Youth and young people worldwide, the Football For Good movement 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.
As part of the 'Football For Good' global brand is a football-led movement - International Football For Good Day. A day in the year 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 formally launched and announced as a new global campaign endeavour on Sunday 19th November 2023.
It is now a celebrated day in the calendar year that takes place every June and serves as a 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 no.1 sport is being used as a force for good.
The next International Football For Good Day is scheduled for SUNDAY 29 JUNE 2025.
In the UK, the Football For Good project initiative is led and driven by the registered UK charity, the Street Soccer Foundation, and 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 organisation, 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.
Have YOU got a story to tell?
Football is a team sport. Which is why we’ve teamed up with the brilliant team over at ‘Goal Click’ – a global storytelling platform.
We now invite anyone from around the world to tell your story about your own life and community, and how football is playing its part to be a true force for good.
