When soccer becomes a game for inclusion

Soccer can also be a way to belong. This story follows a safe space where children and young people with visual disabilities can practice a discipline, build a team, and discover new possibilities on and off the field.

Social Initiative:Topos FC: Community soccer for people with visual disabilities, 2025–2026
Location:Madriguera Community Sports Center, Puebla, Puebla
Objective:Expand Topos FC’s Community-Based Inclusion strategy through soccer for people who are blind in Puebla and its metropolitan area, implementing sport and social development processes with a gender and mental health perspective
Insight:“The greatest success of this year’s project was undoubtedly the experience of the women’s team — from what happened on the field and their participation in the community, to the organization’s office, where three players found employment through the Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro program.” — Topos FC*
