The FFTW Foundation bases itself solely in the heart of football. Our mission is to provide children all over the world the chance to play the beautiful game. We believe that all children have the right to proper equipment, including boots, soccer balls, socks, jerseys

, shorts, and shin pads. Football boots and balls are the two most requested items for FFTW's partner programs, locally and worldwide. Acceptable donations include: boots, balls, jerseys, shorts, socks, scrimmage pinnies, cones, nets, goalkeeper jerseys, goalkeeper gloves, and other soccer-related gear. We hope to make a difference in these children’s lives through the game they love, which will inspire them to greater things both on and off the pitch.

Football is the world’s game for a reason.

It crosses cultures, languages, and backgrounds and creates spaces where young people can try, fail, learn, and belong.

On March 18, Football for the World is bringing together coaches, athletic directors, partners, and community leaders for the FFTW Inclusivity Summit: Think Global, Act Local.

Together we’ll explore how soccer can strengthen our communities here in Omaha — and how intentional coaching, collaboration, and learning from global perspectives can make Soka League the most inclusive league in the city.

🗓 Wednesday, March 18
📍 NorthStar | 4242 N. 49th Ave, Omaha
⏰ 4:00–8:30 PM

Because inclusive spaces don’t happen by accident. They’re built together.

Research in the Journal of Adolescent Health shows youth who feel they belong on a team are far more likely to keep participating year-to-year.

So we design programs around connection, not just competition because when kids feel known, they don’t just play… they stay, grow, and begin to believe they have a place here.

To the coaches who welcomed us.
To the kids who showed up with open hearts.
To every smile, handshake, and goal scored.

Thank you, Seaview.

You reminded us why we do what we do.
This is only the beginning.

💛 We’ll be back.

Sometimes, the ball does the talking.

A freestyle clinic. A few cones. A bunch of eager kids.

This was joy. Movement. Creativity in motion.

First-time visits mean more than just gear drops. They’re the beginning of something.

This was our first time working with Seaview FC, a passionate community fuelled by love for the game, even in the face of limited resources.

We brought balls, cones, bibs, and boots. But more than that, we brought a promise: that this wasn’t a one-off. That this was the beginning of something special.

At Llandillo, we didn’t come to “run a clinic.”
We came to listen. To laugh. To share.

Some kids had never kicked a ball before. Others had never been on a team. For all of them, it was a chance to feel included, empowered, and joyful, if only for an afternoon.

That’s why we bring more than just football gear. We bring time, care, and a belief that every kid deserves the chance to play, no matter their ability, background, or circumstance.
