FIFA Football for Schools launches in the USA 🇺🇸 FIFA’s pioneering Football for Schools (F4S) initiative has arrived in the United States just a few months before the FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States kicks off in North America. Activities commenced on 25 February in Atlanta, Georgia, the home of both the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) and the spectacular Atlanta Stadium, which will host eight World Cup matches in June and July. Nearly 80 local educators and coaches participated in the Atlanta launch event and were taught how to utilise the innovative F4S digital platform, which includes hundreds of age-specific education sessions, games and exercises that use football to promote physical activity, life skills development, teamwork and inclusive participation. FIFA Regional Director Americas, Jair Bertoni said: “The launch of FIFA Football for Schools in the United States, on the eve of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States, marks a significant milestone in our commitment to expanding access to the game worldwide. By equipping educators with high-quality digital tools and structured training, we are creating sustainable pathways for young people to engage with soccer in meaningful and inclusive ways.”
