Project:
Right to sport: Homelessness&Refugees (62877) for the inclusion of young people at risk of social exclusion in the city of Barcelona - Street Soccer Barcelona (SSB)
Context:
The project is aimed at young people at risk of social exclusion living in shelters in Barcelona or living on the streets. These young people come to our activities from the social entities that support them or from the social services of the Barcelona City Council.
In this sense, we work together with the professionals who support them.
At SSB we have the experience that being able to meet to play sports, to play what for many is their favorite sport, soccer, has many benefits, both individually and collectively. It improves their mental health, due to the sport itself and through socializing with other people with whom they share reality. It also increases their self-esteem, accompanied by a team of professionals who know the importance of positive reinforcement.
During the year 2025, a total of 263 young people has attended SSB training sessions. A regular group of 40 young people has been maintained week after week.
Budget:
As regards material costs, the grants are intended to cover the rental of the field, as well as the purchase of footballs, clothing and sports shoes. In terms of human resources, the work of the coach who organizes and develops the weekly training sessions has been covered, as well as part of the work carried out by the entity's coordinator. Including the monitoring of each of the young users, in coordination with the social entities that refer to these young people.
