About the third half

We believe that everyone has a part to play in creating a more equal, tolerant and compassionate society for future generations. We design transformational experiences that use soccer - the world’s common language - to build a new generation of global citizens and support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

the third half is the world’s first Public Benefit Corporation to combine travel, soccer and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

Our Purpose

Soccer is often called ‘the world’s only common language, and it's played and watched by more people, in more countries,
than any other sport.

Our Impact

the third half is not ‘voluntourism.’

We know that what our Local Hosts need most is the means to invest in their own future. That’s why we were founded as a social enterprise to help community-based organizations scale their social impact. Every third half experience creates measurable social impact you can touch and see first-hand.

Soccer teaches you respect for others, allows you to represent yourself in an authentic way, and gives you freedom.
