Fútbol por la Vida works within school districts in marginalised communities in Costa Rica. The organisation uses football and art as tools for human and social development. It also develops education opportunities, empowerment, cultural skills and leadership for over 1000 participants. For many of these young people, Fútbol por la Vida offers one of the few opportunities to train and develop in a healthy environment.

With more and more young people getting involved, and some even aspiring to become coaches and staff members in their schools, Fútbol por la Vida continues to expand and spread its positive message. The organisation has received continued support from players from the national team.
