Johan Cruyff Foundation

The Johan Cruyff Foundation supports and develops impactful sports and play projects all around the world. We focus on children and youngsters for whom sport  isn’t a guaranteed part of their lives. We put this into practice by sports projects for children with special needs,  by setting up outdoor sports facilities in deprived areas and social sports programs. Through these actions we create space.  

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

Space to become who they are.
