THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN WORLD FOOTBALL

We are honoured to be working with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to offer young professional players an opportunity to better understand the role of sports in tackling some of the most pressing issues facing humanity today.

To date, 83 ambassadors from 42 countries across Asia have completed our virtual social responsibility programme. National U17 players nominated by their Football Associations undertook 9 workshops on topics including philanthropy in football, emotional intelligence, safeguarding and peer education. Upon completion, participants are awarded an AFC-Aurora Youth Social Responsibility Ambassador certificate and invited to design their own social projects that, with the support of their local football association, they feel would make the most impact in their communities.
“A shared commitment to continue to ENLIGHTEN, EMPOWER & ENGAGE youth TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE”

"I feel like now I can use my favourite sport to help contribute to making my community a better place. Never in my life that I think I can use football to help make people happier. I also learned that there is a lot of responsibility I hold as a stakeholder of the community. I need to be aware of what I post on social media, the well-being of my friends and family, etc. I realise every action I take; it bears with a big consequence and every consequence affects the people around me.”
