With the addition of France and Belgium, the project successfully educated more than 9.000 youth between the ages of 11-12 from six different European countries on social inclusion and gender equality, through their participation in the free street soccer tournaments across 120 gamedays in the preliminary rounds. 

In the final tournament, a total of 96 youth, 16 from each of the six countries, went to France where they additionally experienced the joys and values of intercultural communication, inclusion, and cooperation through the common game of street soccer. In the final tournament, both the Dutch girls’ and boys’ teams won their categories, with the respect award going to Spanish girls and French boys for their inclusivity and attitudes during the matches.

In total, an estimated 850 volunteers participated in the tournaments across all rounds and countries, with education opportunities on essential tools for volunteers working regularly on social inclusion and gender equality for youth in street sports in their communities.

The project results positively impacted the three target groups of: youth aged 11-12 who participated in the street soccer tournaments; volunteers accompanying teams or leading tournament activities; and the consortium partners themselves.
