Fútbol Más started in 2008 with the aim of promoting resilience and happiness in children and adolescents living in contexts of social vulnerability. It is implemented in the heart of the neighborhoods, working with two main actors: children and their communities.

On the one hand, the program aims to strengthen the resources in children by using football as a tool to develop skills that can be used in all areas of life and, above all, bring happiness. In Fútbol Más we believe that valuing the positive, will transform reality.

On the other hand, we seek that the communities get to know each other, connect and fill public spaces with life. We are sure that relationships are the key pillar of society.

Currently, the foundation is working in seven regions of Chile and additionally has a presence in Peru, Ecuador, Haiti, Mexico, Paraguay and Kenya with a total of 5,000 children in more than 70 neighborhoods.
