CHIGOL uses Fútbol Callejero (Street Football) as a means for social intervention. It recaptures abandoned public spaces in order to create opportunities for young people to come together and explore their talent and potential.

The project aims to improve the quality of life of its participants through activities that allow them to develop their identity, their sense of social affiliation and their ability to co-exist peacefully and resolve conflicts. Young people are encouraged to gradually lead activities and expand the programme. The organisation also cooperates with schools in the area to synchronise education on the fields and in the classroom.
