Soccer possesses several qualities that make it an efficient tool to support local development. It convenes diverse groups in the same space, it builds strong relationships across communities, it supports positive youth development, and it fosters community engagement and leadership

The Futbol1 Village sponsors a network of neighborhood-based teams, leagues and tournaments to connect youth and families from across local communities. The Futbol1 Village Network of teams works in partnership with local non-profits and development agencies to support community development efforts.

Our model:

• Introduce capacity building resources to build a neighborhood network of soccer clubs

• Host programming that connects teams and builds community

• Produce football-based solutions that work to support the key drivers of community development
