Fundação do Futebol - Liga Portugal appears, along with the Sports Societies, as a unifying entity, it will position itself in the market through the notoriety of Football, its players and professional competitions, in favour of Social Responsibility and Environmental Sustainability, establishing partnerships with entities that aim at identical purposes.

The strategic priority for the 2022-23 season will be based on the concept of one Club, one Community, one Foundation. The extent of the geographical area of the clubs that comprise the professional competitions means that football has immense power to contribute to each associated community. This power has the duty to be amplified so that the Clubs act as driving forces for social change.

In addition, the Clubs will benefit from collaborative work with an impact on supporters, tax benefits, applications for funding programmes, investments in infrastructure and capacity building and the development of cultural activities, solidarity and social responsibility. These are the qualities that will be strengthened throughout the season so that the Clubs can form their own Foundation.

We will continue to contribute to increasing the value of the Professional Football industry by promoting the principles of the Fundação do Futebol - Liga Portugal, involving Clubs, stakeholders, institutions and entities related to Professional Football. For the 2022-23 season, in order to consolidate the positioning and objective of the Fundação do Futebol - Liga Portugal Brand, several networking activities will have as main objectives the promotion of the work carried out and obtaining funds to allocate to the implementation of our projects.

The Fundação do Futebol - Liga Portugal has the clear objective of establishing its activities in partnerships with leading entities in the area of social responsibility, both national and international, reinforcing its position and consolidating our projects. Therefore, we will maintain our partnership with Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa, as our institutional partner, the main entity that provides social aid to young people and senior citizens in the educational, cultural and health areas; and with the Food Bank (Rede de Emergência Alimentar), a benchmark institution in the fight against hunger and poverty. In this sports season, the Fundação do Futebol - Liga Portugal will strengthen its strategic scope, strengthening partnerships with important and accredited entities in the area of solidarity in Portugal. These are: SIC Esperança, a Private Institution of Social Solidarity, common to all companies of the Imprensa Group, whose main objective is to raise awareness in society of the social problems existing in Portugal and make its contribution to solving them; the Portuguese Red Cross, whose mission is to provide humanitarian and social assistance, especially to the most vulnerable, preventing and repairing suffering and contributing to the safeguarding of life, health and human dignity.
