2 Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. Nelson Mandela Former President of South Africa In my travels around the world from the dirt fields of Lusaka, Zambia, to playgrounds in schools across America I ve seen the transformative power soccer has to bring people together and transform lives on and off the field. William J Clinton Former President of the U.S.A. Some people believe soccer is a matter of life and death. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that Bill Shankly Legendary Liverpool F.C. Manager

3 Soccer is more than a game of two halves. It s about more than two teams. It s about more than winning and losing. Soccer is not only the planet s favorite sport it s also one of the most powerful vehicles for positive social change. the third half is what happens when you go beyond - it s about using the power of soccer for cultural and educational transformation. We design international, soccer-themed adventures to incredible locations that leave a legacy of lasting impact. Travel. Play soccer. Change the world.

4 the third half experience is a journey of personal transformation. Soccer is often called the world s common language. It is played and watched by more people, in more countries than any other sport, from the mountains of Africa to the backstreets of Barcelona to the crowded urban favelas of Brazil. It has greater power to cross boundaries of race, culture and religion than almost anything else. Each of the third half experiences uses the medium of the game to take you on an educational journey that gives you a greater understanding of how the world works, the challenges it faces and how we can solve them together as global citizens.

5 The universality of soccer makes it a powerful platform for education. All over the world, organizations use soccer to help tackle serious social issues like poverty, disease and lack of education. You ll get to experience first-hand how soccer can change lives. You ll work side-by-side with local coaches and experience how they use soccer to help disadvantaged children. Profits from the third half tours are invested directly in the local host organization, meaning you ll be helping to change lives long after the final whistle.

6 WHY CHOOSE the third half? Every day, all over the world, millions of children wake up to an uncertain future; threatened by discrimination because of their gender or race, crime and violence, poverty and disease or lack of education and opportunities for employment. Increasingly, local non-profit organizations are using soccer as a platform to provide health, education and social services. These organizations need your support. What if your next vacation helped 1,000 African children get tested for HIV? Or helped build a new soccer field in a Brazilian favela? Or helped provide education to girls in Costa Rica?

7 WHAT CAN I EXPECT? the third half is about creating a level playing field. We want you to see what life - and soccer - is like through the eyes of your hosts. Each of the third half experiences is designed to create a balance between sports, education and culture.

But despite their passion for the game, many children from underserved communities in Brazil don t even have the opportunity to play the game they love.

In the overcrowded favelas of the country s major cities, children are often forced to play in the street, at risk from traffic and crime, or in trash dumps and other dangerous places.

You ll join the non-profit organization love.fútbol as they empower local Brazilians to plan, build and manage their own community soccer fields and use them as platforms for social education.
