SAMHÄLLSMATCHEN
COLLABORATING WITH HAMMARBY FOTBOLL
To help more young people get jobs, have healthy and meaningful leisure time and to reduce inequality in Stockholm's southern suburbs, Stena Property in Stockholm is collaborating with Hammarby Fotboll and as the main partner in their social sustainability concept – Samhällsmatchen.
Stena Property has been the main partner in Samhällsmatchen since 2019. During this time, collaboration has led to:
- 3 summer job fairs
- 3 football matches. An activity for building bridges and relationships between young people and the personnel from emergency and rescue services
- A digital math book for 4th grade students
- 3 day camps
As well as several career days and plenty of hours of spontaneous football, football play activities, school visits and meetings with young people in the neighborhood, all to increase young peoples’ sense of security and faith in the future.
Samhällsmatchen (Community Match) is the collective name for Hammarby Fotboll’s initiatives in the community. Samhällsmatchen is about the match outside the chalked lines and what Hammarby Fotboll can do as a sports club, in concrete terms, to contribute to building a better society. The initiative is based on three of the UN’s 17 global sustainability goals: Good health and well-being, decent work and economic growth, and reduced inequalities.
