Football for Hope Movement (in alliance with streetfootballworld)
Social Development through Football - Grassroots Programmes

The Football for Hope Movement is the key element of the strategic alliance between FIFA and streetfootballworld, created to enhance dialogue and collaboration among football associations, committed clubs and players, professional leagues and commercial partners as well as local organisations advancing social development.

The objective of the Football for Hope Movement is to establish a quality mark for sustainable social and human development programmes focusing on football as the central tool in the areas of Health Promotion, Peace Building, Children's Rights and Education, Anti-Discrimination and Social Integration and the Environment, therefore supporting best practice in the field. The programmes must be aimed at children and young people and use football as an instrument to promote participation and dialogue.

The movement aims to fully utilise the power of football in society to contribute to the achievement of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter said: "FIFA takes its social responsibility very seriously as part of its aim to build a better future. That is why we have declared Football for Hope to be a movement and an activity of strategic importance and we are proud that we are now in a position to support more organisations in their work."
