About the Foundation

Karuna Football Foundation is a not-for-profit organization in Goa India that is specifically focused on supporting talented young footballers from the underprivileged and marginalised communities to develop into professional footballers in a systematic and scientific manner.

Set up in February 2014, the Foundation was formed originally under the John Paul II foundation for Sports Goa to provide…

Our Vision

To give every child an opportunity to exhibit the God given talent a platform for performing and never to be deprived of good training facilities and a platform for competitions.

Our Mission

To identify, nurture and support talented boys and girls in India in general and Goa in particular who do not have access to sports facilities due to economic issues.

To develop the boys and girls using football as a tool for life transformation so that they can have an all round personality development.

Our Genesis

Read Full Story

The foundation was established to empower boys and girls from marginalized and underprivileged communities.

This is a great breakaway from the problems the children faced in their childhood years which range from drug, sexual or domestic abuse, malnutrition, alcoholism or unemployment for their parents which has resulted in them lacking essential resources for their physical, psychological and mental growth. For these kids, football has given more meaning to their lives. Raised with little ambition for the future, Compassion FC has given them hope through football, and have provided the appropriate resources to succeed.
