SOCCER4CHANGE • SPAIN 2026
Talent and commitment should give young players a chance to compete. For some families, the cost puts that chance out of reach.
We are raising $20,875 to help six players and an accompanying coach travel to Surf Cup International with EJ Futball.
An opportunity to play at a higher level
Four players from Jamaica and two from Finland have the opportunity to join EJ Futball for a week of international competition. Your donation helps cover the travel costs that would otherwise prevent them from taking part.
The trip runs November 23–30, with tournament play November 25–29. Players will compete against teams from other countries, learn alongside new teammates, and experience soccer beyond their home communities.
