What Associació Esportiva Ramassà does

Associació Esportiva Ramassà (A.E. Ramassà / ONG Barcelona) is a nonprofit football club and development NGO (ONGD) headquartered at Edifici NEC, Carretera de Ribes 4, Despatx 105, in Les Franqueses del Vallès, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Founded in 1975 and registered with the Registre d'Entitats Esportives de Catalunya (number 9745) and the Registre d'ONGD de l'ACCD (number 770), the organization has operated continuously for 50 years, reaching its 50th anniversary milestone in 2025. It maintains approximately 29 staff and combines a competitive football activity (senior men's F11 team, internal tournaments including the Torneig Manel Pujadas) with a social-development arm that uses sport for integration of vulnerable populations and promotion of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (ODS).

The organization's programs include the Projecte Femení Inclusiu (inclusive women's football), Projecte Etetack, solidarity trips (Viatges Solidaris), solidarity storytelling (Relats Solidaris and Contes Solidaris), awareness and education-for-development activities (Sensibilització i EPD), and the cross-border 'Goals For Africa' initiative operating in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is affiliated with international coalitions including UN Football for the Goals, Common Goal, and LaFede (Federació d'Organitzacions Catalanes Internacionals). The entity holds Spanish public utility status (Utilitat Pública) and is governed by an internal ethical code (Codi Ètic) and financing code (Codi Finançament).

A.E. Ramassà is not a commercial technology business; its 'product' is community sports programming and development cooperation. Revenue is generated through member fees (socis), individual donations (donatius), corporate sponsorships (a disclosed base of local Catalan SMEs including Grafix, Fersix, Edifici NEC, SAESPA, Ingenieros Im3, Badia Asociados, Mira Telecomunicacions, PrivacyDat, Gesquatre, Sorbos, and Àrids Garcia), merchandise (Botiga), and grant-funded solidarity activities. No revenue figures, technology stack, or AI capabilities are disclosed. Customer-facing channels consist of the multilingual website (Catalan, English, Spanish, French), organic social media, downloadable brochures, and direct community outreach rather than a commercial sales motion.

Broad incumbents

• streetfootballworld: Global network of more than 100 football-for-good organizations worldwide. A.E. Ramassà is a node in the broader sport-for-development ecosystem and is comparable in mission, though streetfootballworld operates as a coordinating network rather than a single club.
• Common Goal: A global network of football-focused social impact organizations and individuals (A.E. Ramassà is a listed member). Directly comparable mission and network affiliation, and serves as both a peer and an ecosystem organizer for sport-for-development NGOs.
• FC Barcelona Foundation: The philanthropic arm of FC Barcelona, focused on using sport for social inclusion and education of vulnerable children globally. Comparable to A.E. Ramassà in using football as a development tool, but operating at vastly larger scale and brand reach across Catalonia and internationally.
• Right to Play: Global NGO using sport and play to educate and empower children in disadvantaged communities. Comparable sport-for-development model with multi-country reach; A.E. Ramassà's Goals For Africa initiative operates in a similar thematic space at a fraction of the scale.
• Fundació Privada Futbol Club Barcelona (inclusion programs): Programs that work with refugee, at-risk, and disability populations through football — directly comparable to A.E. Ramassà's vulnerable-population focus and inclusive women's project, but at vastly larger institutional scale.
• Grassroots Soccer: International NGO using football to deliver health and social outcomes to adolescents in Africa and the Americas. Closely comparable mission (football for development) and overlapping geography with A.E. Ramassà's Goals For Africa initiative, but operates at significantly larger scale.

Regional players

• Associação CAIS: Portuguese nonprofit that uses sport, arts, and culture for social inclusion of homeless and vulnerable populations. Comparable combination of sport and social-development mission in a Southern European setting, though A.E. Ramassà is exclusively football-focused.
• CF Damm (Fundació Damm): A Barcelona-based amateur football club with a strong social/youth-development program. Closely comparable in being a Catalan amateur football club integrating social objectives, with similar member-based funding model and geography.
• Athletic Club Foundation: The foundation of Athletic Club Bilbao, combining competitive football with social inclusion, education, and development programs in the Basque Country. Comparable in dual club/foundation model and community-embedded mission, though operating at a much larger scale.

Emerging players

• LaFede · Federació Catalana d'ONG: Federation of Catalan NGOs for development, peace, and human rights. A.E. Ramassà is a member entity. Comparable in being a Catalonia-based NGO ecosystem actor, but LaFede operates as an umbrella federation rather than a direct program-delivery organization.
