## Resource

Scotland’s men’s football team is back at the World Cup after nearly 30 years, sparking a national surge of pride and investment. The government has launched a $500,000 World Cup Fund to boost youth development for both boys and girls, while a Boston fundraiser added $275,000 to Street Soccer Scotland—using football to tackle wellbeing, housing, mental health, and employment. Already serving 25,000 people across major cities, the initiative aims to expand into new areas, turning global football excitement into local opportunity. The Scottish FA sees this as a momentum-builder for future tournaments, with the ultimate goal of nurturing talent and strengthening communities through the power of the game.
