Simply kicking a ball around in the street. For many children, that is no longer a given. Neighbourhoods are becoming more crowded, space is more limited and traffic is busier than ever. That is exactly why it is so important for children and youngsters to have a safe place to play, to be active and to meet each other.
The Cruyff Foundation creates sporting outdoor spaces worldwide where children have the freedom to be themselves. Multifunctional spaces in the neighbourhood, with a Cruyff Court at the heart. These are places where children can build friendships, learn to work together and experience what it means to win an lose. Valuable experiences that support their development physically and mentally, but also in society.
In addition to these multifunctional sport spaces, we also realise Cruyff Courts at institutions for children with special needs. These Cruyff Courts are adapted to their needs, so they too can enjoy sport, play and have fun without limits.

SPECIAL CRUYFF COURTS
In addition to Cruyff Courts in neighbourhoods, we also develop Cruyff Courts at institutions for children with special needs. These special Cruyff Courts are adapted to meet the needs of those children.
