Spirit of Football is a non-profit association based in Germany. We use the power of football in education to advocate a fairer and more inclusive world, based on the three pillars of diversity, respect and teamwork. Our motto One Ball, One World is also represented by The Ball, a football which is fair produced in Kenia from Alive and Kicking, and which travels like football’s Olympic Torch to the FIFA World Cup every four years. Whilst travelling for the first time to the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zeeland The Ball 2023 champions the 17 sustainability goals (SDGs) especially focusing on SDG 13 climate action and on SDG 5 Gender equality.
