We’re thrilled to announce that BSmag (Beach Soccer Magazine) has joined the United Nations initiative Football for the Goals (FFTG) as an official member. This partnership marks a significant milestone in our journey to harness the power of beach soccer for positive change.
About Football for the Goals
The Football for the Goals (FFTG) is a UN initiative that provides a platform for the global football community to engage with and advocate for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs encompass various aspects, including health, gender equality, education, and climate change. The initiative taps into the power of football to drive behavioural change and sustainable practices in the football industry.
A Valued Addition
BSmag joins an already rich FFTG membership, the likes of UEFA, English FA, Al Nassr FC, Fundación Atlético de Madrid, The Beach Soccer Foundation and more, bringing a unique perspective and expertise to the initiative. This marks a significant milestone in our journey to further harness the power of beach soccer for positive change. Our membership amplifies BSmag’s global reach and local impacts, aligning with FFTG principles. Our core focus has been sharing inspiring stories and insights on community engagement, health, environmental protection, and sustainable tourism, which is a key component of our upcoming social enterprise.
By joining FFTG, BSmag directly supports 7 UN SDGs, including SDG 3 (promoting physical activity and health), SDG 4 (supporting skills development and education), SDG 5 (empowering girls and women through participation), SDG 8 (boosting local economies through tourism and development), SDG 13 (raising awareness for climate action), and SDG 14 (coastal conservation and environmental protection), and SDG 17 (fostering partnerships and community engagement).
In a letter presenting the membership certificate, Maher Nasser; Director, Outreach Division, UN Department of Global Communications, stated:
