A strong sign of equal opportunities and meetings in Europe

Every year, Telekom Star Kick combines sport, community and social commitment — and in 2025, COME WITH was once again part of this special event at the Telekom Dome in Bonn. The First Advent was all about what (youth) soccer can do: Create encounters, open horizons and connect people.

Well-known former players from the Bundesliga and FC Bayern Munich Legends as well as popular influencers and content creators such as Giovane Elber, Rafinha, Lucio, Roy Makaay, ViscaBarca, Aminho, Pascal and Marcel Gurk As well as Pietro Lombardi supported the event on and off the pitch.

For the third time, we have received a donation from Deutsche Telekom, which goes directly into supporting children and young people through soccer.

What is achieved with donations

The money was used in full to encourage children and young people to participate in intercultural youth meetings through our international tournaments To make this possible when financial hurdles would otherwise make this impossible. In doing so, we are strengthening the social participation In sports and Create access to intercultural experiences, which reach far beyond the playing field.

Managing Director Philipp Reinartz clearly expressed this effect during an interview during the event:

“We pass on donations one-to-one to children and young people who need financial support around, to have intercultural experiences about soccer. For us, participation means that everyone should be able to ride along. Everyone should be part of their team. And part of our society.”

International Meetings as a Contribution to a Growing Europe
