Spirit of Football

Spirit of Football (SoF) – founded in 2005 is a non-profit organisation harnessing the power of football to drive positive social change.  Every four years SoF undertakes global education journeys with a very special ball ("The Ball") to the FIFA World Cup. The Ball is like football's Olympic Torch. SoF transfers The Ball's journeys into interactive global learning education, using football, as well as theatre, art and music.

SoF runs university seminars and works with children and youths in schools and communities and runs workshops so that trainers, educators and social workers can pass methods on in their own clubs and communities. SoF works with refugees in Germany (#CommunityBuilding) and in refugee camps in Jordan (#ResilienceBuilding) and host communities in Lebanon and Turkey (#SocialCohesion).
