Johan Cruyff Foundation
The Johan Cruyff Foundation supports and develops sports activities for children in need all over the world. Through sports projects for children with a disability and projects like the Cruyff Courts and Schoolyard14 we create space for children. Space to grow. Space to make friends. Space to improve physical and mental health. Space to become who you are. Unfortunately we have had to continue without Johan Cruyff following his passing in 2016, but his vision remains the starting point for our activities, which have expanded considerably over the course of the years. Every week we are helping thousands of children all over the world to move up by being active. #CruyffLegacy #CreatingSpace
