The programme uses football to improve the health and well-being of significant numbers of people, particularly children and teenagers, worldwide.
One country which has embraced Grassroots is French Polynesia, where football is like a religion uniting people from each of its 118 islands.
Combining theory and practical, coaches throughout Tahiti are motivating and teaching the youth in their country in the hope that it will encourage a lasting love for the world game.
Tahiti’s Grassroots Festival features in a FIFATV short film which was recently honoured with a silver medal at the 2013 International Visual Communications Association Awards for Best Public Relations Video.
