26 May — football shows its heart
say you are in. DONATE. MOBILISE. INSPIRE
A global giving moment for the world of football
Powered by Common Goal
World Football Giving Day is endorsed by UN Football for the Goals and follows UN World Football Day as a way to turn the values recognised by the United Nations — including solidarity, peace, inclusion and community wellbeing — into collective action across the global game.

Football has the power to connect billions of people across the world.
In a time of growing uncertainty and division, the world needs connection more than ever. But it needs more than that.
It needs solidarity. Generosity. Heart.
What if, once a year, the game turned its power toward giving back?
What if there was a global moment when football showed its heart?
A moment when the focus wasn't the spectacle, the stadiums, the big numbers. A day that is simply about showing up for others.
From athletes to communities, from brands to fans, from institutions to the wider football ecosystem, World Football Giving Day is a moment when we collectively choose:
Love over hate.
Connection over division.
Opportunity over exclusion.
Community over isolation.
