ABOUT TACKLING MATTERS

We exist to rebuild and empower communities around the world affected by war or disaster by providing sports pitches, equipment, and rehabilitation units that offer both physical and psychological support.

Building football pitches for injured, amputated and PTSD soldiers and civilians is not just an idea, its a lifeline that can transform their recovery and future. For soldiers who have sacrificed so much, football offers more than physical rehabilitation; it becomes a pathway to reclaiming their dignity, strength and sense of purpose.

The pitches we provide to these regions are not just fields of play - they are arenas of healing, where these incredible warriors rediscover their courage and capacity to thrive. In the face of adversity, this initiative stands as a powerful message: hope endures.

"THE HUMAN SPIRIT CAN RISE, HEAL AND PLAY AGAIN..."

So much is being destroyed in my country, but sport has the ability to make something positive out of a life tragedy, and to bring people together regardless of the circumstances"

Andrii Kuzmenko, Kyiv
