Laureus is global sports organisation built on the belief that ‘sport has the power to change the world’.
The famous words of our Patron, Nelson Mandela spoken at the first ever Laureus World Sports Awards in 2020 have become the mantra by which we operate. Today Laureus brings together the power of storytelling and advocacy, through our global network of over 300 athlete ambassadors with the sport for development work of our charitable foundation, Laureus Sport for Good.
Laureus Sport for Good funds and supports over 300 programmes in more than 40 countries and territories, each using the power of sport to support young people from under-served communities. Laureus works with our partners to delivery tangible social change – impact that is measured through a framework aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers.
