Johan Cruyff Foundation - Creating Space for children.

The Johan Cruyff Foundation supports and develops sports activities for children all over the world. We focus on children in need. Through sports projects for children with a disability and projects like the Cruyff Courts and Schoolyard14 we create space for these children.

Space to grow. Space to make friends. Space to improve physical and mental health.

Space to become who you are.

First Special Cruyff Court in the United Kingdom!

Today was a very special day for us: we've opened the very first Special Cruyff Court in the United Kingdom! From now on the pupils of the Dorothy Goodman School can play sport on the Special Cruyff Court, which is adapted to the needs of the children.

Cruyff Court Fernando Torres

This Cruyff Court is located in the elementary school where Fernando Torres grew up, and becomes the first one in the region of Madrid.

Special Cruyff Court in Japan

In 2020, the next Paralympic Games will be held – something we are always really looking forward to as the Cruyff Foundation. And… we are always trying to realise a Special Cruyff Court in the country in which these Games are held.

Cooking for Charity was a huge success!

What a special night we had yesterday! During the eleventh edition of the Dutch fundraising event Cooking for Charity we raised more than €250.000 to create space for children with a disability! The special theme of the evening was wheelchair tennis.

Cruyff Court Neale Cooper

Today we opened the second Cruyff Court in Aberdeen: Cruyff Court Neale Cooper! A safe space for the children in Tullos, named after the legend Neale Cooper, who passed away in 2018. During the festive opening children from the community played with several Scottish heroes like Jim Leighton, Steve Archibald en Archie Knox.
