The Favela Project


Dixieland Footie has found causes left and right that it supports wholeheartedly. From shipping balls to Iraqi children in the memory of Nick Madras, to the Homeless World Cup.

I believe that football is one of the more significant driving forces in the world today.

It is the most popular sport by far and it draws players from every corner of the globe.

We have seen, in the case of Pele, of how it can lift people out of oppression. There are stories of how it has brought civil wars to a halt because the country's national team qualified for their first cup in years. It is truly one of the few equalizers left in the modern world.

Dixieland Footie would like to announce a new group who are striving to bring the game and all its beautifulness to children in poor towns.

The Favela Project is a non-profit that is working towards providing poor children with the equipment they need to play the game and truly succeed and change their stars.

Go support them or your team will never win the league.. ever again.
