MADRID, SPAIN - Sports with Us is Bank of America's global platform that uses the power of sport to help young people build confidence, develop important life skills and access pathways to education. Now spanning 15 countries and providing access to sports for more than 1.2 million children, the Sports with Us platform is part of Bank of America's commitment to create a lasting legacy post the bank being the Official Bank of the FIFA World Cup 2026™.

Bank of America has named Fundación También as the delivery partner for the launch of Sports with Us in Spain, building on a shared commitment to improving outcomes for young people through sport.

Sports with Us in Spain will support the expansion of Fundación También's Sports & Skills programme, helping vulnerable young people with disabilities improve their mental health, build resilience and future-readiness through sport and physical activity.

Young people will participate in inclusive events such as the Football School, sports camps and other large-scale sports events. They will also have access to engaging learning materials focused on leadership, teamwork, communication, wellbeing, nutrition and financial education. Programme modules are bespoke to the Sports with Us programme and have been developed in collaboration with leading global universities and educational institutions.

Joaquín Arenas de Bedmar, Country Executive for Bank of America Spain and Portugal, said, "Sport has the power to open doors. It helps young people develop confidence, resilience and the skills they need to help them thrive in life. Through Sports with Us and our partnership with Fundación También, we are helping create pathways for young people to unlock brighter futures and realise their full potential."

Teresa Silva, Founder and Managing Director of Fundación También, said, "We have seen first-hand the transformative impact that sport can have on young people's confidence, wellbeing and future prospects. It provides opportunities to learn, grow and develop skills that last a lifetime.
