As we reflect on a very challenging year, we’d like to give you a taste of what you’ll find on our annual report, coming in January 2021.
Get to know more about our new pitch in the Dominican Republic, but also about our tireless efforts vs COVID-19. All these stories wouldn’t have been possible without you, so thanks for being part of the love.fútbol community!
LA PIÑA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Before the pandemic, we inaugurated our second multi-sport space in the Dominican Republic. The community of La Piña worked hard to build not only a football & basketball court, but also a meeting point for boys and girls.

UNITED vs COVID-19
In response to the pandemic, we launched United vs COVID-19, an initiative to support the immediate needs of our communities. So far, we have raised over $83,000 to deliver more than 4,000 food baskets, 1,800 hygienic products, 9,000 cloth masks, and education opportunities to 6,400 families and 28,000 community members in 7 different countries. And we’re just getting started.

SAFETY COMES FIRST IN TIMES OF COVID-19
The communities we work with are now facing multiple challenges. And even though we had to hit pause on our scheduled projects in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Nigeria, we are getting back on track, working safely with the communities to open these new spaces shortly. That’s why we have adapted our working methodology, promoting preventive action by practicing good hygiene and physical distancing. The world has changed, and so must we.
