About the Foundation

A foundation built on the discipline of the beautiful game

Founded in 2011, the Global Sport Group Foundation is an independent non-profit dedicated to unlocking opportunity for young athletes who love the game but lack the means. Our programs operate in partnership with licensed academies, schools and community organizations across four continents.

Every program we run is measured against one question: did this child leave better equipped — as a footballer, a student and a citizen — than when we met them?

Voices from our programs

What the work feels like

"The Foundation didn't just hand me a kit — they gave me a coach who believed in me when no one else did. I'm the first in my family to attend university."
