Kinder- und Jugendfußball Jena – Stiftung zur Förderung des Fußballnachwuchses

The Children and Youth Football Foundation Jena was established to support talented children and adolescents from the Jena region and surrounding areas in their football training. Furthermore, it supports initiatives in the fields of sports, education, research, science, health, charitable social assistance, international understanding, as well as youth development and youth welfare. The foundation works closely with clubs, daycare centers, and schools to strengthen youth football in the region in the long term and to create opportunities for elite athletes.

Our goal is to introduce young people to football at an early stage, recognize their talents, and support them both athletically and personally. Through regular training for coaches, social support, projects in daycare centers and primary schools, as well as the recognition of outstanding achievements, we aim to ensure high-quality youth football and sustainably develop Jena as a football location.

The foundation is aimed at children and adolescents primarily from the Jena region and surrounding areas who are engaged in football. Both performance-oriented young players and socially disadvantaged youth are supported. Furthermore, the foundation assists coaches and trainers in clubs as well as schools and daycare centers that offer football extracurricular groups.
