Red Deporte y Cooperación

What Red Deporte y Cooperación does

Fundación Red Deporte y Cooperación is a Madrid-headquartered non-profit foundation founded in 1999/2000 that uses sport, primarily football, as a vehicle for human development, education, health, social integration, and employability among vulnerable children and youth. Its core delivery model is field-based community programs implemented through local partners and educational institutions in Spain (Madrid, Castilla y León), Senegal (Casamance), Zambia (Lusaka), and Nepal. The flagship domestic offering is Club Red Deporte, an after-school sports and academic-reinforcement program for children in Madrid's Barrio del Pilar district that combines twice-weekly sports sessions with weekly English classes.

Internationally, the organization runs sport-based rehabilitation and education programs for street-connected children, migrants, trafficking survivors, and at-risk youth, alongside a transnational Erasmus+ co-funded project (SF2024 Street Football) coordinated with the World Minifootball Federation and partners in Portugal, Greece, and the Czech Republic. Its intellectual property consists of a library of downloadable educational manuals covering substance-abuse prevention, health, environmental education, inclusion, employability, and basketball accessibility, plus a digital awareness platform (sportsaveslives.org) for Nepal anti-trafficking work.

The organization is funded through institutional grants (European Commission Erasmus+, UEFA Foundation for Children, Junta de Castilla y León), corporate sponsorships (Adidas MFTP, FIFA, Common Goal, White & Case), individual donations and memberships ('hazte socio'), charitable challenges, and legacy bequests. It operates with a small central team of approximately 16 employees and relies on partner NGOs for field implementation. There is no product revenue, no pricing model, and no disclosed annual budget.

Direct peers

• Right To Play: Right To Play is one of the largest sport-for-development NGOs globally, using sport to educate and empower children in disadvantaged communities. It operates at much greater scale but is directly comparable to Red Deporte in mission, methodology, and funding sources (institutional grants + corporate partners).
• streetfootballworld: streetfootballworld is a global network of more than 100 sport-for-development organizations, convening and capacity-building NGOs that use football for social impact. Red Deporte fits the same sport-for-development archetype and likely participates in adjacent networks.
• Common Goal: Common Goal is a global sport-for-development collective linking football professionals, clubs, and NGOs to fund social impact through football. Red Deporte is itself a Common Goal member, and they share the same sport-for-development mandate, UEFA-aligned funding model, and vulnerable-youth focus.
• Big Bang Ballers: Big Bang Ballers is a French sport-for-inclusion organization that delivered training to Red Deporte staff in Grenoble. Comparable in mission (sport for social inclusion of marginalized youth) and as an operational partner, it represents a near-direct peer.
• Sport dans la Ville: Sport dans la Ville is a French non-profit using sport to promote social and professional integration of youth from disadvantaged neighborhoods. Comparable to Red Deporte in combining sport with academic support and employability programs.
• Fútbol Más: Fútbol Más is a Latin American-origin sport-for-development NGO using football to support children in vulnerable contexts across Chile, Mexico, Peru, and other countries. It is a direct methodology peer to Red Deporte's Club Red Deporte model and shares the vulnerable-children, community-based intervention approach.
• Soccer de Rue: Soccer de Rue is a French street-football NGO working with homeless and excluded populations, and is a direct operational peer and WelcomInClubs collaborator with Red Deporte. Both use street football as a vehicle for social inclusion in vulnerable communities.

Broad incumbents

• Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage / IOC Refugee Olympic Team programs: The IOC's refugee and sport-for-development initiatives (including Olympic Refuge Team) operate at global scale using sport to support displaced and vulnerable populations. They are a broader-incumbent comparator in the same sport-for-social-impact space Red Deporte occupies.
• UEFA Foundation for Children: UEFA Foundation for Children is a major funder and partner of Red Deporte and a broader-incumbent funder/convener in the same sport-for-development space. While not a peer operator (it is a foundation granting funds), it shapes the competitive landscape for NGO funding.

Regional players

• Fundación Rafael del Pino / Sport Cultura Barcelona (sport-for-development cluster): Several Spain-based foundations (including Fundación Rafael del Pino and similar sport-and-education foundations) operate regionally with overlapping sport-for-youth missions. They are regional peers serving a comparable Spanish/European beneficiary base with related methodology.
