Together with TheRockinR, FIFAe provided gaming carts to a hospital in Liverpool including a visit of the FIFAe team to meet some of the patients
In addition, EveryoneCan will receive equipment for their gaming center which helps persons with disabilities
Both initiatives enable players who are temporarily or long-term limited to still enjoy football in all its formats
The long-standing FIFAe Good Game Promise initiative continues to make a significant impact by focusing on the health and well-being of players, the planet, and the community. In this occasion, FIFAe has worked towards enabling children who may be temporarily or long-term limited in mobility to still experience the joy of football through gaming, ensuring that the sport remains accessible to everyone.
Recently, the initiative extended by empowering gamers and football enthusiasts with disabilities through meaningful collaborations with two dedicated organizations during the FIFAe Next Gen event in Liverpool: TheRockinR, whose mission is providing medical gaming carts to young patients, and EveryoneCan, an organization that offers assisted technology and accessible gaming in their centers so that everyone can enjoy.
As part of the partnership with TheRockinR, the FIFAe team recently visited Alder Hey Children's Hospital, where they had the privilege of spending time with the children and their parents. During the visit, two custom-built gaming carts were donated to the hospital, equipped with gaming consoles and different football gaming titles.

Supporting EveryoneCan's Mission
In addition to the hospital visit, the Good Game Promise starts its collaboration with EveryoneCan, who are committed to providing an opportunity for people with special needs to enjoy gaming in a comfortable manner. FIFA will support EveryoneCan’s mission by equipping their gaming centers with essential tools.
This support will help EveryoneCan create more custom gaming setups that cater to the needs of disabled gamers and football fans, ensuring they have access to an inclusive environment that allows them to enjoy the sport in different formats.
