"20 Centres for 2010" is the official campaign of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. The goal of the campaign is to raise 10 million USD to fund the construction of 20 Football for Hope Centres across Africa. Five centres will be located in South Africa and 15 across the rest of the continent. Each will feature a mini-pitch with one-star artificial turf along with classrooms and health care facilities, providing youths a place to play as well as access to counselling, health and educational services.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup™ Official Campaign marks the first time that the world's largest football event will harness the power of the game itself to inspire positive social change. Following the success of previous campaigns in 2002 ("Say yes for children") and 2006 ("6 villages for 2006"), the 2010 campaign will be conducted within the framework of the Football for Hope Movement - the key element of the strategic alliance between FIFA and streetfootballworld.

Investing in excellence
The Football for Hope Centres are, above all, an investment in existing organisations, many of them streetfootballworld Network members that use the power of the game to promote positive social change in their communities. The centres will be located at the sites of Football for Hope implementing partners, all of which are NGOs active in the field of Development through Football.

Their construction will not only provide long-term infrastructure but also improve the delivery of their unique programmes. The Football for Hope Centres represent a key contribution to the legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. Long after the final whistle is blown, the centres will continue to serve their local communities through sustainable programmes that use the beautiful game to inspire positive social change.
