Safe-Hub creates communities in collaboration with local partners so that young people and communities can thrive. The aim is to realise a vision for an equal world by improving access to support and opportunity in under-resourced neighbourhoods. It is a privilege to partner with Safe-Hub for this tournament series, and to play a small work in the life-changing work they are doing in South Africa.
The former greats will be joined by football influencers and content creators, Thulani Hlatshwayo and Andile Dlamini, in a celebration of German and South African cultures, with children from the local community taking to the field for a Bundesliga five-a-side tournament, as well as local artists and DJs performing throughout the day.
Both broadcasters will continue to support the project over the course of next year, ensuring widespread national coverage of the activation and of the vital service the Safe-Hubs provide. But it extends much further than that, and we are committed to ensuring that football plays a positive impact in the lives of young people at all levels. Wherever you go, you see children playing, it is how I fell in love with the sport. I believe this project will be a great opportunity for young kids to enjoy football in a safe space, and will have a huge benefit, not only for them but for the community as a whole.
Our Safe-Hubs have always been more than just a place to play — they are drivers of holistic youth and community development. We are excited to collaborate with Bundesliga International to create an environment where the spirit of youth is celebrated through the universal language of football. Football pitches renovated around the world to offer young people the opportunity to play football. Bundesliga and 1.
