The $250,000 Global Citizen Education Fund, in partnership with FIFA, is now inviting applications from grassroots and community-based organisations worldwide that aim to expand access to quality education and sports for children in underserved communities.

This initiative seeks applicants who use sport as an educational tool to empower children and help them thrive.

Organisations selected will receive funding ahead of the 2026 World Cup cycle, join a global network of change-makers, and be expected to submit mid-term and final reports on their progress. The fund plays on the global popularity of football and sport to generate positive change in education and child development, and invites organisations that are ready to scale their impact by helping children learn, play and grow with dignity.
