A time to meet and greet
The streetfootballworld projects around the 2006 World Cup have totally entered into the spirit of the official World Cup motto: “A time to make friends”. The local pitches around Berlin’s Kreuzberg district are set to become the centre of the international street football scene, with the district itself hosting the street football stadium. The “World Cup Schools” project is enabling thousands of school kids of all ages to have a look behind the scenes in 205 FIFA countries. And all over the world, new pitches are being created, reflecting the streetfootballworld projects’ prime focus on sustainability.
streetfootballworld festival 06
Streetfootballers the world over are in training for Berlin! In 2006, for the first time, a street football world championship is taking place as a parallel event to the FIFA World CupTM, with Berlin hosting both events. Organised by streetfootballworld, the competition is bringing together teams from 24 projects in a streetfootballworld festival structured around the two main themes of football and culture – with the countries involved presenting their own specific (football) culture in a series of events around the festival.

Schools in World Cup fever
Since November 2004, the “World Cup Schools – Fair Play for Fair Life“ project has been ready to go. The project involves 204 schools from across the whole of Germany each adopting an ambassador role for a particular FIFA country, with Germany represented by a primary school in South Africa. The project focuses on the core themes of global learning and fairness, in all its many different aspects. More on World Cup Schools...
The world needs more soccer pitches
Often streetfootballers can only play on city pitches. With the help of sponsors and supporters, streetfootballworld is creating pitches in major cities where soccer players can have a change to kick a ball around. The pilot project is refurbishing a soccer pitch in Berlin’s inner city district of Kreuzberg, and kicking off a “Partner Pitch” cooperation with a pitch near the Afghan capital of Kabul.

Scholars, politicians, journalists and project personnel from across the globe will be taking part in the “forum 06” – a discussion round on “Football and Development” initiated by streetfootballworld. The first major meeting is scheduled for October 2006 in South Africa, with street football project organisers and young soccer players also participating. More on the forum 06…
