Who we are

Football & eSports as a vehicle for integration

Since 2018, the Katowice Internationals World Cup has brought together players from every continent — refugees, migrants, workers, students and locals — around the world's most universal game. When the ball rolls, skin colour, religion and language no longer matter.

Organised by the Katowice Internationals Foundation, the tournament is far more than football and eSports: it is a celebration of diversity, friendship and belonging in the heart of Silesia.

Founded in 2018 by the international community of Silesia and supported by the garageRasmus Foundation, the project has grown into one of the region's most heartfelt celebrations of integration.

This year, we play for someone special

We play for Franek

Franek is a brave little boy who cannot walk or talk — but he has the heart of a warrior and a smile that can light up the sky. Born in Katowice at just 28 weeks to a Polish mother and a Welsh father, he has already faced many serious challenges, with more ahead.

Franek needs constant medical care and physiotherapy to keep developing, and all of it is extremely expensive. Every donation helps give him the better quality of life he so deeply deserves.
