“We’re thrilled to be putting on our first ever GOAL Black & White Soirée charity dinner. The theme of Power of the Ball means a lot to me. It means equality and opportunity for all no matter your background. The power of the ball gives us the opportunity to come together, for one cause, and equal opportunity not only on the pitch but in life, uniting us the way football unites communities.”

—GOAL founder Paul Desbaillets
