Changing lives through sport

Decathlon Foundation

The Decathlon Foundation was created in 2005 with one objective: to make the benefits of sport accessible to people in vulnerable situations. In all the projects we support, our teammates get involved locally and sustainably alongside associations, to share their passion for sport. As Decathlon teammates, we have a responsibility to act in solidarity and to promote sport really for all.

Move people in vulnerability through the wonders of sport

We truly believe that sport can change lives.
When combined with education and social support, it can have a transformative impact on people living in difficult circumstances.

In line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), our three key focus areas for the coming years are centered on the inclusion of young people, the empowerment of girls and women, and the health of individuals in vulnerable situations.*

*While these are our primary areas of emphasis, we remain committed to supporting a wide range of beneficiaries, ensuring that our initiatives stay inclusive and adaptable to the diverse needs of all.

The aim: to develop their leadership skills, gain confidence and defend their rights. By creating a favorable environment, this initiative aims to improve their social and economic status and promote gender equality.
