Get a signed FC Arsenal jersey from Mesut Özil! and support the Stars4Kids foundation

Your donation means you’re supporting the Stars4Kids project known as Bola pra Frente, a sports and education center in Rio de Janeiro’s Guadalupe district. Bola pra Frente is one of the biggest social and sports projects in the federal state capital.

950 young people aged between six and 17 are given professional educational support by professional sportsmen and women, sports instructors, psychologists and social workers. The children and teenagers are given free courses and get the chance to take part in further sports activities and work in projects aimed at promoting careers. The children’s individual talents, gifts, abilities and preferences are discovered and developed here, promoting their sense of identity and prospects.

This is the vision of former football professional Jorginho, who initiated the foundation 13 years ago because he never forgot his own roots.
