We Support the One World Futbol Project

“A child can play to their heart’s content where there are no content hearts”

If there’s one sport that can unite people across cultures and continents, its soccer. Every kid, regardless of where they live, deserves a chance to play. In many areas around the world, kids are so driven to play soccer that they’ll bind plastic bags with twine, or play with empty plastic bottles. Even if they can find a traditional inflatable soccer ball, they aren’t durable enough to withstand play in streets, villages, and pastures and end up deflating within days. The One World Futbol Project has created a ball that never needs a pump, and can be punctured multiple times while still retaining its shape and bounce. We just bought four balls to be sent to kids around the world, and ordered one to play with here at home.
