“20 Centres for 2010” is the Official Campaign of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. This campaign is part of the ongoing Football for Hope Movement initiated by streetfootballworld and FIFA in 2007 to increase the impact of football as a tool for social development, peace and social change.

The aim of the centers focuses on public health, education and football across Africa. The centres will address local social challenges in disadvantaged areas and improve education and health services for young people. The Football for Hope Center in Khayelitsha is the first of the Football for Hope Centers to open in Africa.

At this weeks decisive match between Algeria and the United States FIFA President Sepp Blatter and former President Bill Clinton spoke about the program. Blatter noted the centers "ought to leave a legacy in Africa and above all in the fields of education and health”.
