Football For Refugees

Football For Refugees A Football Project for refugee children. We sponsor weekly football training and quarterly festivals/tournaments in Lesvos (Greece). Thank You! :-)

We are a group of individual volunteers from all over the world. We organise football activities for the refugee children and youth living in the Kará Tepé Refugee Camp in Lesvos, Greece. The core aim of the organisation is to promote their physical and mental well-being and -most importantly- allow them to have fun! In partnership with the Municipality of Lesvos, the NGO Movement on the Ground, a

nd the cooperation of FC Barcelona Foundation among others, we are implementing a Football3 Project, with the aim of promoting social cohesion within the refugee youth from different nationalities, and their social integration within the wider local Greek population. The main activities of the project are (a) weekly training sessions at Spanos Mini Football Academy in Panagiouda, and (b) the organisation of a Football Festival every quarter, with the participation of local academy teams such as Olympiacos FC, Kalloni FC (Panathhinaikos) and Eliakos FC. We are a charity organisation and rely on the material and financial support given by volunteers, friends and family. We do not receive any public of official support. Should you wish to support our project, you can do so by donating football gear (boots, socks, shorts, jerseys, gloves) or by making a financial contribution into this account: IBAN: IE26 BOFI 9045 7914 0941 67 (Bank of Ireland).
