Why FC Mother
Why New Yok City
Football's heartbeat: Mothers
Mothers play a critical role in football — often behind the scenes, yet foundational to the sport’s global ecosystem.
- They raise the athletes.
- They build the communities.
- They pass down the love for the beautiful game across generations.
With the World Cup of Healing, maternal well-being is no longer a side conversation — it’s becoming a key priority within football’s future.
At World Football Summit, we believe football can do more than entertain, that’s why we’re proud to partner with FC Mother as our official Health, Longevity & Wellness Partner.
Together, we’re taking on a $27.2 trillion global challenge: maternal health.
By activating the power of 5 billion football fans, we aim to deliver real, measurable impact — starting with the people who give us life.
- 54 million life years
- Science-backed solutions
- Community-led change
This is football, reimagined for purpose.
