Football Without Borders
Our soccer school was launched in 2012, initially aimed at children from the Caucasus. Over time, the group grew, welcoming people of different ages and backgrounds. In 2022, we began working regularly with young refugees from Ukraine.
Our Approach
Sessions are led by coaches and educators, many of whom have migration experience themselves. They are responsible for your development and safety, addressing your individual needs and making sure you’ll want to come back for more training.
