The UEFA Foundation for Children Awards 2016 celebrates five bodies seeking to promote the values of the charity - peace, integration, greater social harmony, respect for differences and non-discrimination.

At a ceremony in Nyon, Switzerland, the UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin was joined by members of the foundation’s board of trustees – Chairman José Manuel Durão Barroso, Viviane Reding, Norman Darmanin Demajo and Sándor Csányi – in presenting the 2016 awards.

The inaugural winners are:

streetfootballworld: a network that unites more than 100 community organisations behind a common goal – changing the world through football.

Colombianitos: a body striving to raise the quality of life of children and young people and their communities, through sport, recreation, education and health.

Just Play: a programme that improves the lives of children in the Pacific region through football.

Right To Play: an initiative using the power of play to educate and empower children to overcome the effects of poverty, conflict and disease in disadvantaged communities.

Magic Bus: a scheme that steers children towards a better life with better awareness, better life skills and better opportunities in the journey from childhood to livelihood.
