KOMM MIT's work is based on a clear vision: We are committed to building bridges across soccer, overcoming social hurdles and strengthening cooperation in our society, in Europe and in the world. As part of Football for the Goals-United Nations initiative, among other things, we are specifically committed to SDG 10: Fewer inequalities.

To achieve this vision, we work with strong partners. Thanks to the support of Deutsche Telekom and the PSD Bank West eG with her STiftung “United! ” can we give more and more children and young people access to intercultural youth encounters through sport.

An outstanding example of cooperation with Deutsche Telekom is the project Telekom Starkick, this charity event collects donations, which we can use to secure funding for individual teams. But also initiatives such as United! -Funding, which enables more participation and equal opportunities in society, is a significant step in this direction. Up to 50 associations from the Cologne, Bonn, Aachen and Trier regions receive thanks to “United!” Foundation of PSD Bank West eG Funding that enables teams to share this unique international experience together and enables all children to participate. This gives many young people the opportunity to get to know each other through international soccer tournaments in Spain, Italy, Croatia or the Netherlands, break down prejudices and make new friends.

These partnerships and projects impressively show how we can make a difference together. They make it clear that it's not just about soccer — but about creating connections that go beyond the pitch. Through sport, we overcome geographical, cultural and social barriers and thus lay the foundations for a more inclusive society. A society in which less inequality means more opportunities.

Our partnerships are an essential part of this process. They not only help us to realize our vision, but also work with us to build a better future. They are a powerful sign that we can make real change through cooperation, solidarity, and the quest for justice.

Together, we are setting an example for a more just, inclusive and peaceful world.
