Young footballers training together on a pitch

About us

Hope through football.

We support locally led football projects that give young people a place to play, belong, and grow.

Vision

A world where every young person who wants to play has a club that believes in them, where hope is practical, weekly, and worn on a jersey.

How it started

Hope Football began through relationships built around football, coaching, and young people who needed consistent support. The question became simple: how do we keep showing up after the trip ends?

Today the foundation is building a home for locally led football projects, beginning with Yakaar FC in Senegal. The promise is simple: football used with care, structure, and long-term support.

How we are organised

Hope Football Foundation supports partner clubs as they come on at the right time. Yakaar FC in Senegal is the first partner club.
