Following the announcement made in November 2022, FIFA is taking the implementation of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Legacy Fund to the next level with an investment of USD 50 million in a series of social programmes in collaboration with Qatar and three global organisations, namely the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Trade Organization (WTO) and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency...

For the first time, the FIFA World Cup™ Legacy Fund will be invested in social impact projects in different regions across the following pillars:

• Refugees: By partnering with UNHCR, the Legacy Fund will support programmes that empower communities and promote resilience and self-sufficiency for some of the world’s most vulnerable people with a view to enhancing access to basic services, improving social inclusion and strengthening national systems.
• Public Health/Occupational Health and Safety: The Legacy Fund will foster initiatives that will build on the role played by the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 for promotion of health and wellbeing and will extend to improving working conditions. FIFA will join forces with WHO to support Beat the Heat, a flagship initiative to mount action to safeguard the health and safety of high-risk individuals from extreme heat and the related occupational and environmental hazards and impacts in the context of climate change.
• Education: Together with the WTO and the International Trade Centre, FIFA will support the Women Exporters in the Digital Economy Fund, which aims to economically empower women entrepreneurs by leveraging the potential of digitalisation to help them access global value chains.
• Football development: Aspire Academy and the FIFA Talent Development Scheme, led by Arsène Wenger, will collaborate in identifying promising young talents in remote areas in a dedicated number of developing countries, with the objective of giving more talent around the world a chance to shine.
