About Generation Amazing

Generation Amazing (GA) is the human and social legacy programme initiated in 2010 during Qatar’s successful bid for the 2022 FIFA World Cup™. As we reach the eleventh year of our journey, we have continued to grow and expand the reach and impact of the programme with a major focus on themes including education and empowering youth in underprivileged communities to become leaders through the power of football.

Aligned to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and 2030 Qatar National Vision, we see sports in general and football in particular as a transformative tool and as a fundamental instrument in order to achieve socio-economic and wider development outcomes for refugee communities and disadvantaged youth globally, including countering violent extremism through sport and protecting education from attack.

Our football for development programme has reached 725,000 direct and indirect beneficiaries to date. We are looking to expand this reach further to 1 million youth over the coming year until 2022. The programme will empower new generations of young leaders in Qatar and across the region and the world to transform their communities through football and create sustainable programmes which will generate exciting social development opportunities long after the last ball has been kicked in 2022.
