About KOMM MIT
Sport as a bridge for peace and understanding
KOMM MIT is an independent, private, non-profit organization that has been promoting solidarity among children and young people in Europe for more than 40 years. The focus here is particularly on intercultural youth exchanges and encounters.
Through specially organized sporting events with an Olympic character, KOMM MIT brings over 25,000 children and adolescents from over 60 different nations together in several European countries.
Children and young people learn important and sustainable values for social coexistence within sports as well as a cultural framework program. Mutual respect, acceptance of differences and recognition of others' achievements are fundamental values for solidarity and a peaceful coexistence.
In addition to international understanding in Europe and the world, KOMM MIT promotes children and youth football at grassroots level. One focus is on volunteer work in football clubs and associations that serve as a central point of contact for the personal development of children and adolescents.
Volunteer role models offer sports activities. In the club, children and young people not only have the opportunity to participate in sports, but also to experience and learn important social values through sport.
KOMM MIT was founded in 1983 out of passion — to this day with the conviction that football is more than just a game.
Our founder, Karlheinz Reinartz, wanted to offer children and young people a safe space to experience team spirit and make friends. His commitment opened the doors to football for young people from different cultures.
In the spirit of solidarity and cooperation KOMM MIT financially supports numerous children every year so that they can have the same intercultural learning experiences as their teammates.
Additionally, various projects are dedicated to promoting girls' football, aiming to inspire more girls to embrace and enjoy the sport in the future.
Based on the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, KOMM MIT pursues in particular the goals 3 (health and well-being), 5 (gender equality), 10 (fewer inequalities) and 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions).
Our mission
Football as a bridge between people
Football is more than just a game — it is a universal means of communication that connects people from all corners of the world. At KOMM MIT, we promote values such as respect, inclusion and equality with our passion for sport. Through targeted events and projects, we create a space in which children and young people not only develop football skills, but also learn social values such as tolerance and acceptance.
Our goals

At KOMM MIT, we create a fairer world through solidarity, team spirit and mutual understanding. Our goals are clear: promote peaceful coexistence, strengthen diversity and equal opportunities, and offer volunteers in sports the space and recognition they deserve. In doing so, we are also committed to the personal development of children and young people and promote strong club life.
