May 22, 2026 (Fort Worth, TX) – TMJ and TMJ Foundation are pleased to team up with Common Goal in support of World Football Giving Day on May 26 — a global initiative that harnesses football’s reach to encourage everyone who loves the beautiful game to turn that passion into action and give back to communities through football.
The collaboration is rooted in a shared belief that beyond the spectacle and the big numbers, football can be a catalyst for equal opportunities. By supporting the people and organisations using the game to create access, opportunity, and inclusion, football can help transform lives and communities around the world.
For TMJ, this connects deeply with its mission to forge a more rewarding and equitable future for female football players — something that starts from the ground up by investing in the people, programmes, and communities helping women and girls access the game and thrive through it. TMJ’s support of World Football Giving Day also creates a pathway to explore future projects and collaborations aligned with the mission of TMJ Foundation.
“Common Goal’s vision strongly resonates with TMJ’s values and the passion points of our athletes around the world,” shared Sara Toussaint, Co-CEO and Head of Catalyst & TMJ Foundation. “As a leading women’s football organization, we’re compelled to support and share World Football Giving Day as part of our commitment to creating a more rewarding and equitable future for female football players. We encourage everyone in the women’s game to join us in promoting football for good.”
Part of TMJ’s decade-long journey in women’s football has included supporting athletes and community-led giving initiatives across the Americas and Europe. This includes Venezuelan international Deyna Castellanos’ Queen Deyna Legacy Program, as well as product donation initiatives supported by Mexican National Team leaders Rebeca Bernal and María Sánchez, U.S. rising star Mia Fishel, and Spanish World Cup champion Jenni Hermoso.
Building on those efforts, TMJ is excited to use this partnership with Common Goal to expand its network and impact globally, with a particular emphasis on Africa as South African icon Thembi Kgatlana and Zambian star Racheal Kundananji continue growing programmes supporting women and girls in their communities.
As women’s football continues to grow globally — and with the FIFA Women’s World Cup Brazil 2027 on the horizon — TMJ and Common Goal see an opportunity to help shape the future of the game to be more equitable, inclusive, and globally connected from the start. Women’s football is uniquely positioned to challenge gender norms, expand access for girls, and create lasting social and economic change across communities worldwide. Together, both organisations believe football can become a stronger platform for equal opportunity by investing in the people, organisations, and communities creating access to the game every day.
