The Campaign for Children’s Rights in Football is a wholly independent and impartial organisation. It is made up of individuals and groups committed to campaigning for and promoting the realisation of children’s rights (as set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) in football internationally. 

We receive no funding from any government, institution or sports body. 

Drawing upon collective expertise, dialogue and consensus-building, we have agreed a set of principles that capture the essence of our mission to change the game - we call this 'Another Way to Play'. 

Another way to Play!

'Another Way to Play' is a child-centred vision for the world of youth football. At its centre lies the voices of children and young people whose perspectives will inform and lead our work. The vision is centered on the fact that the rights and well-being of children and young people are paramount in every aspect and every version of the game. We seek to empower children to understand and claim their rights, to foster their enjoyment, and provide opportunities for their voices to be heard, while holding to account those responsible for respecting children’s rights.

The shared aspirations and values underpinning this vision are set out in the Manifesto.
