This project will give the opportunity to sign up a team of young immigrants at risk of social exclusion in the Barcelona Scholar League. This will provide the possibility to compete, but also to generate healthy bonds, promote good habits and, above all, create a sense of belonging and team identity and accompany them in the process. The support is directed to the boys' team in the school league and the women's team in a league in the city of Barcelona.

In Barcelona, there are + 3,800 houseless people, 83% more than eleven years ago. Houselessness during youth may disrupt the transition to adulthood as well as the development of personal life projects. It is very important to prevent and intervene in order to forestall its establishment as a chronic cycle.
