By seeing how they experience soccer, you’ll understand how they experience life, whether it’s watching a game with a family in a Brazilian favela, playing pick up on the streets of Delhi or attending a pro soccer match with thousands of local fans.

Do you feel the pressure?! In many ways the world is like this soccer ball, it can withstand some pressure, it is resilient...

That is why we, at The Third Half, align our work with the 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development, agreed upon by our world leaders to end extreme poverty, tackle climate change and reduce inequality by 2030. Save the world, and have fun doing so!
