Dream Team's big adventure: Join a very special football journey

This summer, Foreningen ForKBH, together with Grundfos and the Grundfos Foundation, sent our special team with superpowers, Dream Team, on the trip of a lifetime to take part in one of the world's biggest inclusion tournaments, the Genuine Cup in Houston, USA, side by side with teams such as Manchester United, Inter Miami CF and Paris Saint-Germain. It is the only tournament of its kind in the world, and its purpose is to use the power of football to bring people together and promote the inclusion of athletes with neurodevelopmental disabilities (such as autism). Join them on their big adventure and see how it all went in the video here! Taking part in the Genuine Cup is the first initiative from F.C. Copenhagen's newly established association, Foreningen ForKBH, which works to involve more children and young people in football's sense of community across cultures and backgrounds. The association is non-profit and independent, and that is precisely what makes it possible for the Torras Foundation to support the Danish team with a special donation covering all costs - including flights, accommodation, meals and local transport as well as entry to the tournament. By taking part in the Genuine Cup, F.C. Copenhagen and Foreningen ForKBH want to show how football can contribute to social inclusion, togetherness and great experiences - whatever your abilities and background.
