The paper draws on results, learning and evidence generated in three continents, cementing Fútbol Más as an organization that not only implements programs sociodeportivos, but also measuring its impact to strengthen the welfare, child protection and community development.

In a scenario where the challenges for children are becoming more complex, it demonstrate the impact of social interventions is becoming so important as to implement them. Under this conviction, Fundación Fútbol Más presents his Annual Report Global 2025, a publication that goes beyond the balance institutional, but represents the contribution that sport can generate when combined with methodology, evidence, and work in different territories.

During 2025, Fútbol Más developed 171 programs in Latin America, Africa and Europe, reaching 18.429 people. However, the report puts the focus beyond the cover: it shows how the same methodology is able to adapt to schools, neighborhoods, residences of protection, displaced communities and informal settlements, while maintaining a common purpose: to promote the well-being, strengthen ties and create safe spaces for children.

One of the main contributions of the paper is the consolidation of a model of assessment that enables you to measure specific changes in the lives of those who participate in the programs. From instruments internationally validated, such as the WHO-5 well-being and APAL-Q for physical activity, Fútbol Más reported improvements in regional mental health, increased physical activity and reduced sedentary behaviour among children and young people participating in Chile, Peru and Mexico, strengthening the generation of evidence to the field of Sport for Development.

The report also reflects the evolution of Fútbol Más as a global organization. During the last year strengthened its management systems, standards compliance and internal processes, with the understanding that the protection of children requires institutions are increasingly more rigorous, transparent, and sustainable. Added to this are advances in methodological innovation, international advocacy, knowledge transfer, and a strategy that projects the development of the organization towards 2030.

More than a collection of numbers, the Global Report 2025 holds one of the greatest convictions of the organization: the sport can transform realitybut its value increases when such a transformation is able to be documented, evaluated and converted into knowledge to continue to strengthen policies, programs, and communities. That is the challenge that the Fútbol Más shares in this new edition, inviting allies, institutions and actors of the ecosystem of the sport for development to meet an experience built from the practice, research, and everyday work with thousands of children and young people on three continents.
