Football for the Goals, launched by the United Nations in 2022, provides a platform for the global football community to engage with and advocate for the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The initiative taps into the power of football not only to raise awareness of the SDGs, but also to bring about positive behavioural change and sustainable practices in the football industry.

By joining this initiative, the UEFA Foundation for Children becomes part of a growing network that uses the power of football to advocate for meaningful change. The foundation is looking forward to working with the initiative’s joint members and contributing to global efforts by promoting values enshrined in the SDGs, such as gender equality, environmental protection and peacebuilding through sport.
