One Wish Football Academy

Founded in 2019 in Islamabad, Pakistan, One Wish Football Academy provides free football access to underprivileged and homeless youth through the One Wish Football Program, in partnership with Karim Khan Afridi Welfare Foundation.

Pakistan faces significant socioeconomic challenges that affect vulnerable youth and contribute to homelessness and exclusion. Poverty remains widespread, placing young people at heightened risk of social exclusion.

These conditions highlight the importance of initiatives like the One Wish Football Program, which uses football to promote inclusion, dignity, and pathways toward stability for underprivileged and homeless youth.
