The Big Goal is simple...
To use the Global No.1 Sport and fuse it together with one of the largest Industry sectors in the UK to help tackle one of the largest social issues in the country: Youth Homelessness.
TOGETHER UNITED
We want to end youth homelessness through the power of football – partnering with the largest industry sector in the UK: This is ‘THE BIG GOAL’
01
Play for Change at the world class St George's Park
Backed by The Street Soccer Foundation, 'The Big Goal' lets companies form 5-a-side teams for a national tournament, offering a chance to play at St George’s Park, England's official training base.
02
Helping vulnerable and homeless young people
Each team that takes part in The Big Goal sponsors up to 10 vulnerable youths via the UK's top football-led charity project, The Street Soccer Academy, combating youth homelessness.
03
Uncover New Talent To Help Your Business Grow
Your chance to meet the young people you have sponsored through your team entry and have the opportunity to unlock new talent to help you and your business grow and develop.
National 5-a-side Tournament
The Big Goal National 5-a-side football tournament will be initially played out in up to five Regional Finals across the country. These Regional tournaments will be 1-day playing events taking place between February to April 2024 at prestigious footballing locations nationwide. Underpinning the football tournaments will be the knowledge that every team taking part has exclusively sponsored a group of vulnerable and homeless young people to help these young lives turn their fortunes around for the better. Changing Lives through Football… All Regional Finalists will then be invited to take part in the National Finals in June 2024, to be played at the official and exclusive England training camp, St George’s Park: the Home of England Football, for the chance to be crowned The Big Goal National Champions!

All Regional Finalists (Winners & Runners Up) will be invited to the official England training camp at St George’s Park to play in The Big Goal National Finals offering the chance of a lifetime.
Playing for Change
Fundamentally, the best bit about taking part in The Big Goal national football tournament is knowing when your team steps out onto the pitch, your team is PLAYING FOR CHANGE – knowing your team entry fee serves as a direct sponsorship of an Academy group of young people in your chosen local community. Helping disadvantaged local young people to transform their lives for the better.
