Our mission

Our mission is creating a new generation of strong role models rooted in the community. With the power of sport we break down boundaries and change the world.

About having fun

Football is the most popular sport in the world and Favela Street uses the appeal of this sport to connect with the youth. The nature of street football often times exist parallel to the dynamics of life in these underserved neighbourhoods, making it a sport that is accessible, easy to learn, has flexible rules and is about having fun with fewer resources.

Future Leading Players

Favela Street envisions a positive community where local youth lead the way. We believe in the strength, talent and potential of these young people, which is why we create programmes that foster positive, lasting change focused on individuals, leading to further impact on their wider communities. We call these young people Future Leading Players. They will be able to create the ripple effect we are looking for.
