A strong partnership for equal opportunities and participation in international youth soccer

International youth tournaments are much more than sporting competitions — they create spaces for encounters, promote personal development and strengthen cooperation between young people from all over Europe.

Since 2024, the partnership between KOMM MIT and PSD Bank West eG and its foundation have enabled Vereint! Just that: Participation and new perspectives for young soccer players in the Rhineland.

Once again this year, numerous teams from Aachen, Cologne, Bonn and Trier were able to unite! Participate in international KOMM MIT tournaments. In the past two years of cooperation, a total of around 90 teams receive targeted support — a clear signal for more Equal opportunities in children's and youth soccer.
