FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund Reaches USD $60 Million Mark, Mobilizing Grants Education to Reach Over 400,000 Children Globally

Today, Global Citizen and FIFA announced the next cohort of community-based organizations that will receive grants from the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, as the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final and first-ever Halftime Show approaches.

By supporting proven models that combine education, sport, nutrition, health services and community engagement, the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund is helping expand access to learning, improve education outcomes, and create pathways to opportunity for children in some of the world’s most underserved communities.

A portion of the funds raised for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund will be allocated to the FIFA Football for Schools (F4S) programme, an initiative that advances life skills, learning, and community development through football around the world.
