The Football Club Social Alliance

The Football Club Social Alliance (FCSA) is a network of European professional football clubs that work together socially. The FCSA carries out international projects in crisis and former war zones and is committed to football for the disabled in Europe.

The partner clubs of the FCSA use the unifying power and values of football to support young people in crisis and development areas in their work with disadvantaged children. On site, the club's experts train committed young women and men together with local partners to become so-called “Young Coaches” - to become children's football coaches and social role models. The aim of the FCSA's commitment is not to search for or promote talent. The focus of the FCSA is exclusively on the holistic training of the Young Coaches in order to prepare them for their work with disadvantaged children in their environment.

The Football Club Social Alliance was founded by the Scort Foundation . The Scort Foundation is a politically and religiously independent, non-profit foundation based in Basel, Switzerland (foundation under Swiss foundation law on January 27, 2010). The foundation is responsible for project management, partner acquisition and coordination, financing, bookkeeping, reporting and the measurement of the program's impact. The program for the Young Coach training was also developed by Scort. The Scort Foundation bears the personnel costs for project management as its own contribution.
