2 3 ORIGINFOUNDATION

When Johan Cruyff lived in the United States, there was a little boy who lived next door to him. That boy had Down syndrome and he never played outside.

Johan, naturally, started playing football with this child and taught him to kick and head a ball. At that moment, it is when he realized the integrating power that sport has.

In 1995 he decided to create the Foundation with the aim of promoting sports among children and young people with and without disabilities.

SPACETHE CAMPAIGN

In 2018, we launched the Creating Space campaign. Our main message is: Creating Space for all children. This message is short and powerful and translated into the pay-off: Creating Space.

We literally create space through projects such as the Cruyff Courts and Schoolyard14, but because of this, we also figuratively create space for all children to become what they are.
