During one year coaches of the partner club FC Basel and the project partner Tottenham Hotspur Foundation educate young women and men in Mannar (North-West Sri Lanka) as multipliers and football coaches for children’s football. The project is supported by:

Premier League - FIFA - Liechtenstein Development Service- Holcim, Sri Lanka

Willy Schmid (Coach FC Basel), Young Coaches and participating children after the football festival

With its own fund (Grants Fund) the Premier League supports international projects that use the power of football to deliver international development. A part of the Grant Fund is now used to support the Sri Lanka-Project.
FIFA supported the first module (May 2010) of the one-year education programme as an extension of their grassroots programme one week before.

In the Liechtenstein Development Service (LED) Scort gains a partner already familiar with the foundation, having been the main sponsor of the Sudan-Project. Scort appreciates LED for their continued support and co-operation.

Scort aims to cover certain project costs through local partners. With Holcim Sri Lanka Ltd. Scort has found a strong partner in the project country.
