Common Goal launches COVID-19 response fund
Through this initiative, Common Goal is calling on players and leaders in the football industry and other public or private donors to support the fund, which was created to provide immediate and effective solutions to those who have been hit the hardest by the global pandemic.
The initiative focuses in particular on supporting women, older persons, young people, low-income workers, small- and medium-sized enterprises, the informal sector and vulnerable groups from disadvantaged communities.
