FINISHED IN RECORD TIME

One of the most passionate people the organization has come across, the people of Chimalhuacán share a passion for the beautiful game. Thanks to the high levels of community engagement, particularly from the women, the project was built and inaugurated in 40 days -- a record in the history of love.fútbol. What was once a vacant lot is now a beautiful recreational complex with a multi-sport court, and playground - built in partnership with the non-profit KaBOOM! From fútbol to ballet and even traditional rituals, this place will serve as a platform for play, education, tradition, and sustainable social change.

 
 
 

The name Chimalhuacán means "place of those who have shields" in the local dialect of Náhuatl Chimalli.
