PASS-A-BALL PROJECT
We believe football belongs to everyone. Everyone should have the chance to kick a ball, join a game and feel part of something. Passion is universal. Opportunity is not. A ball is a simple place to start. Through our Pass-a-Ball Project, every football you buy puts another into the hands of someone facing barriers to play. More than 16,000 balls. Over 40 countries. More chances to play, connect and belong.

Since launching, PARK has passed over 16,000 balls to players all over the world. Based on insights from our partners, PARK balls are used 4 times a week and last on average 6 months in harsh conditions. That means the average ball starts about 100 games in its lifetime.
MEFOU, CAMEROON
A BALL IS WHERE IT STARTS.
You don’t need a stadium to play football. But you do need a ball. A ball gives people a reason to come together. To join a game, make a friend and be part of a team. For communities facing displacement, exclusion or limited resources, that opportunity matters. We make footballs to be played with. Our partners help turn them into opportunities to play.
KATHMANDU, NEPAL
YOU BUY IT. WE PASS IT ON.
Every football purchase contributes another ball to the Pass-a-Ball Project. We work with charities and community organisations that understand the players they support. They get the balls into communities and use them in local games, football programmes and camps. The people closest to those communities lead the work. PARK supplies the balls. Your purchase make it possible.
KARAMOJA, UGANDA
LOCAL PARTNERS. LASTING CONNECTIONS.
Our partners work with refugees and people seeking asylum, girls facing barriers to sport, and communities with limited access to equipment.
Each community has different needs. The approach stays simple: support the people already creating opportunities through football, and give them more balls to put into play.
In Karamoja, Uganda, our partner SHANITA brought PARK balls to a camp where some children had never played with a real football before. That is where the project comes to life—in the hands of the people playing.
PROJECTS
SACRAMENTO, USA
Together with Sacramento Republic FC, we connected fans with the club’s community work. Every collaboration ball purchased helped put another into local hands.
IRAQ + SYRIA
PARK footballs were helicoptered into remote communities through the Iraqi Soccer Project. An extraordinary journey to give children affected by conflict a chance to play.
TANZANIA + SOUTH AFRICA
From a record-breaking match on Kilimanjaro to football clinics for girls in South Africa. We supported Equal Playing Field with balls to help open the game to more players.
START A GAME
