The UAE has pledged $5 million to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund to support its efforts in improving access to quality education for children worldwide.

This includes developing educational opportunities through initiatives that help children expand the knowledge and skills needed to thrive, alongside advancing global collaboration to address barriers to education.

The FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund is a joint initiative by FIFA and Global Citizen that aims to raise educational resources, particularly for vulnerable and underserved children.

The Fund supports education programs through grants and partnerships with organisations working on the ground, using football as a platform to inspire global action.

The UAE's contribution reflects its longstanding commitment to investing in human development and backing international partnerships that create sustainable and inclusive opportunities for future generations.
