ABOUT US
streetfootballworld is a global NGO that harnesses the power of football to tackle some of the greatest social challenges of our time. The organisation’s work supports an international network of over 130 grassroots organisations that use football as a tool to address deep-rooted community issues, ranging from refugee integration in Ireland to gender equality in Kenya. Collectively, the network empowers more than two million disadvantaged young people per year.
In 2017, streetfootballworld launched Common Goal, a philanthropic movement with an ambitious aspiration: to unite the global football community in tackling the greatest social challenges of our times. Common Goal’s members (football players, managers, fans and businesses) pledge a minimum of 1% of their annual earnings to a central fund. Together, we allocate this fund to high-impact community organisations that harness the power of football to advance the United Nations Global Goals.
