“Make the game better and take it to the world” has been FIFA’s guiding force in recent years. Now that the vision has begun to take shape, FIFA’s mission has acquired a new dimension with the addition of the words: “…and make the world a better place”. This new guiding principle has prompted FIFA to take its social responsibility even more seriously. Under the umbrella of the Football for Hope movement, football-for-development programmes are being promoted and conducted all around the world.
“…and make the world a better place.”
