FIFA Football for Schools program expansion

Overview

The FIFA ‘Football for Schools’ program is expanding its reach through various international partnerships aimed at integrating football into formal educational curricula to foster social development and personal skills.

In the Dominican Republic, the initiative has launched in the provinces of Azua, Peravia, and San José de Ocoa. This collaboration involving FIFA, UNESCO, and local ministries provides footballs to educational centers to link physical activity with education.

In Paraguay, the program is being relaunched through a partnership between the national government, the Paraguayan Football Association, and FIFA. Paraguay is one of 12 countries selected for this phase, with potential designation as a global training hub. The model includes training teachers and instructors using methodologies adapted for school environments.
