FIFA’s primary objective is "to improve the game of football constantly and promote it globally in the light of its unifying, educational, cultural and humanitarian values, particularly through youth and development programmes". Thwy share the success of the FIFA World Cup™ to support football development projects in there 209 member associations across the globe. Football has flourished as a global game because of this support. With USD 550,000 going into these programmes each day, they are spending more than ever on football development. Many of there members depend on this support to finance their day-to-day operations. It ensures that football can have a solid foundation throughout the world.

Football is much more than just a game. Its universal appeal means it has a unique power and reach which must be managed carefully. We believe that we have a duty to society that goes beyond football: to improve the lives of young people and their surrounding communities, to reduce the negative impact of our activities and to make the most we can of the positives. 

Football can inspire communities and break down barriers. Football is for all. FIFA believes that everybody has the right to play football free from discrimination or prejudice and we are striving to ensure that this is the case.
