We promote Education. Language. Team spirit. Community. Culture.

Fußball trifft Kultur

What we do

We use the power of soccer to ensure that every child has the opportunity to receive a good education. With our programs, we create motivating and inspiring approaches to language, culture and movement.

Voices of change

Our programs are made possible by numerous supporters from sport, business and society as well as highly committed local program teams. They play a crucial role in supporting us on our path to greater educational equality.

Ridle Baku, professional footballer and nationwide ambassador for "Fußball trifft Kultur"

"When Karin Plötz from "Fußball trifft Kultur" approached me with the idea of supporting the program as an ambassador, I was immediately enthusiastic. Combining the social power of soccer with remedial teaching - I think that's great. I would like to help as much as I can. "

Elias Baum, Eintracht Frankfurt, program sponsor for the Frankfurt location

"Football connects people and creates opportunities - on and off the pitch. As a sponsor of 'Fußball trifft Kultur', I want to encourage children and young people to discover their strengths and work on their dreams together. After all, team spirit, fairness and respect are values that go far beyond sport."

Participants of "Fußball trifft Kultur"

"In German lessons, we always played so many cool German games. We stick together as a team and I've made new friends."

Franziska Fey, Chairwoman of the Board of the DFL Foundation

"It is the combination of soccer, skills development and culture that makes the program special and inspires the children. They improve their language skills, get moving and gain cultural experiences. All of this boosts their self-confidence and helps them to develop."

Tim Gailus, journalist and TV presenter

"Football meets culture" makes children strong: team spirit meets education and culture. And soccer clubs set an example for rousing and sustainable teaching. That's a great tactic.

Ala Noorani-Yazdanabad, former program teacher Bochum

"At the final tournament, it became clear that the children had grown together as a team and were committed to each other. Overall, you can see a more self-confident demeanor and a more confident command of the German language among the pupils."

Prof. Dr. Rolf Schwarz, "Fußball trifft Kultur"-Manual 2019

"The "Fußball trifft Kultur" program has great potential, especially in the substantial values of successful integration: the will and openness to build a common, interpersonal, thriving society. This includes an appreciation of others and the acquisition of basic democratic rules."

Nia Künzer, former player at 1. FFC Frankfurt and program sponsor at the Frankfurt site

"At "Fußball trifft Kultur", sport is combined with fun and learning. With fun and commitment, you can achieve a lot in both soccer and learning."

Christian Rode, former program teacher of "Fußball trifft Kultur"

"Children who posted little in everyday school life flourished beyond the school year in the Löwenstark project. Friendships that were unimaginable within the school classroom were made possible by the program. The children gained self-confidence and independence."
