World's best CSR Activity by FC Barcelona in Club Football

The FC Barcelona Foundation and UNICEF has demonstrated to the world their commitment to children with disabilities since a long time. The event which was held back in 2006, marked the tenth anniversary of the collaboration of FC Barcelona Foundation and UNICEF framed under the slogan 'For each child, the right to play' brought together leaders and influential personalities in the social sector to discover the importance of using sport as and bringing about a social change in the lives of children bearing physical disabilities.

FC Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu, former player Ronaldinho, and UNICEF’s executive director , Anthony Lake were the prime dignitaries present in the event. FC Barcelona and UNICEF stated that almost 652 million children are on the verge of social exclusion, which these organizations are striving to restrict through their welfare initiatives; focusing on Sports. One of the projects that was discussed was the ‘Open doors to inclusion’ project, a joint initiative launched in Brazil by the Rodrigo Mendes Institute and UNICEF ,this programme, which has been implemented in 12 Brazilian cities, has seen the involvement of more than 250 education professionals and has benefited more than 22,500 children.

The agreement between UNICEF and FC Barcelona will be renewed in February 2020 with the commitment to increase the economic contribution of the Foundation to UNICEF from 1.5 million euros to 2 million euros per year. From the year 2006 to 2010, various sports developmental initiatives were carried out in Swaziland, Malawi and Angola in raising awareness about preventing and detecting HIV/AIDS. From 2011 to present, work focuses on South Africa, Ghana, Brazil and China, where sport is being used as a tool to counterfeit disabilities.
FC Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu, Ronaldiniho and Anthony Lake, UNICEF’s Executive Director expressed their heartfelt support for this initiative which will rope in millions of children and will provide them a direction in life to prosper and move forward overcoming all other hardships.

Ideas Unlimited Sports Management Group graciously applauds both these organizations for their good work. We sincerely hope that more such professional football clubs extend their CSR Activity for the well-being of the society through football and we reside in a much better world obsessed with sports and fun.
