About this Event
Inclusivity Summit: Think Global, Act Local
Join us for the Inclusivity Summit, an evening dedicated to exploring how soccer can be used as a powerful tool to make a positive impact players, teams, and communities.
Hosted by Football for the World Foundation USA, this event brings together coaches, athletic directors, and leaders passionate about Football for Good to learn from organizations using the game to create meaningful change both locally and globally.
The evening begins with a coach-specific training session (4:00–6:00 PM) featuring guest speakers from South Bronx United and the Play for Paige Foundation, who will share insights and practical strategies for building more inclusive and impactful soccer programs.
From 6:00–6:30 PM, attendees will enjoy dinner and networking, providing an opportunity to connect with fellow coaches, community leaders, and advocates working to grow the game in meaningful ways.
The Inclusivity Summit (6:30–8:30 PM) will then bring everyone together for a collaborative conversation centered on the theme “Think Global, Act Local.” Together, we will explore how lessons from global Football for Good initiatives can be applied in our own communities to make the sport more accessible, welcoming, and transformative.
