A Global Partnership with Chelsea Football Club
Partnering with Chelsea FC
Plan International is the global charity partner of Chelsea Football Club and we’re delighted to announce the extension of our partnership for a further three years. Chelsea FC is one of the most popular and successful football clubs in the world, competing in the most-watched competitions.
Our partnership uses the power and popularity of football to help some of the world’s poorest children to fulfil their potential. Chelsea FC supports our work across Africa, Asia and Latin America, using their global appeal to raise funds and awareness for Plan International.
Chelsea FC and Plan International are winning partners. After launching in September 2015, we’re transforming children’s lives around the globe, supporting Syrian refugee children in Egypt and helping children live free from violence in Colombia. We look forward to working with Chelsea FC to reach even more children in future.

Champions of Change
Our partnership kicked off in Colombia, where we have developed a football-themed Champions of Change project. With support from Chelsea FC, we are working with over 1,000 boys and girls and their families across five communities in some of the most deprived areas in Bolivar, Colombia.
In a country where gangs, guns and domestic violence blight the lives of many young people, we’re using football to teach young people about equality, respect and tolerance. Our approach is proven to transform lives: girls stay in school longer and marry later, while boys learn to be respectful of their female peers.
Together, we can transform the lives of thousands of girls and boys around the world.
raising thousands for refugees
In autumn 2015, Chelsea FC raised more than £50,000 for Plan International’s refugee appeal. Today, that money is making a huge difference to the lives of young Syrians who have fled to Egypt.
Thanks to Chelsea FC, we’re helping make sure children can get the education they’ve missed out on because of the war, providing ‘school kits’ that include uniforms, socks and shoes, stationery and books.
