About

Fútbol Más uses a single socio-sport approach, built around football and play, to create safe spaces where children can thrive. Its programmes run in schools and neighbourhoods, in child protective residences, with displaced communities and in informal settlements, in countries including Chile, Peru, Mexico, Kenya, Spain and France. The foundation measures its impact with internationally recognised tools such as the WHO-5 wellbeing index, shares its approach with partner organisations, and advocates internationally for children's rights through sport.
