Our work started in 2002, driven by the belief that football can be an effective tool to transform our societies. When we started, we knew that there were community organisations using football to catalyse change in their societies. We based our action on the belief that, to achieve global change, we needed to connect the dots, we needed to create the team, and we needed to act as a collective.

We created the streetfootballworld network to identify, connect and empower community organisations that have demonstrated to have a sustainable social impact in their communities, and enable them to do more. Our network currently includes 135 network members that, together, reach over two million people in 90 countries.
