About Soccer without borders
Soccer Without Borders is a program that uses soccer as a vehicle to empower young people and foster inclusion and personal success.
Young people from 60 different countries are playing soccer through Soccer Without Borders. It is not just about playing soccer but also about being part of a supportive community, with caring coaches and mentors.
The program is built to equip young players with the tools and confidence they need to overcome adversity and reach their inherent potential.
The experience provides them a venue to express themselves and contribute. Soccer without Borders puts special emphasis on encouraging girls of all cultural backgrounds who often can’t exercise their right to play soccer.
Soccer without borders won the FIFA Diversity Award in 2017.
