Making an Impact in Mexico

The ministry in Mexico began in 2014 in the city of Puebla. Our vision is on impacting and transforming individuals and communities through football ministry.

Our passion is to see lives transformed by sharing Jesus through football.

Our focus is football at all levels — recreational, competitive, and elite. That’s why we work through our Football Development Plan (FDP), which aims to help every participant grow both in the game and in life.

Through this process, we develop disciples and remain committed to ensuring that each person’s future — in health, education, and character — is strong and dignified.

Our ministry programs include Community Football, an outreach initiative in partnership with local churches that offers Camps, Kickabouts, and Soccer Schools. We also run a Football Club, TREC and Tours.

Community Football

Ambassadors Football Mexico has developed a program called Community Football that, together with the church and the local community, allows people to hear and experience God's love through a school, camp, or kickabouts program.

The purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity for churches and organizations to use local sports facilities to engage children, youth, and/or adults in their community in structured recreational soccer activities with the goal of transforming their lives.

Community Football provides the opportunity to work with children ages 4-14, youth, and adults, giving them the chance to play and develop in a fun, healthy, and positive environment where we can combine soccer with biblical teaching.

The field provides the location. Soccer provides the attraction. The Church provides the volunteers, the impact, and the influence. As relationships grow, people are affected, and the desire is to see the broader impact extend to families, schools, and the community.

Community Football Programs

Soccer School

A program by Ambassadors Football in partnership with a local church, aimed at evangelistic outreach for children aged 4–14. Participants learn basic football skills, biblical principles, and recreational competition.

TREC

TREC coach training in mexico

Ambassadors Football has developed several ways to train individuals and churches on how to use soccer for ministry. One of these ways is TREC (Training Resourcing Equipping Coaches/Churches), a training course designed to provide resources and equip coaches/churches.

Held around the world, it is a 3-level program that includes theoretical and practical training taught by experienced coaches and missionaries. The main focus is to train Christian coaches to influence, guide, and discipline their players in Christ so that they can have an impact on their community through soccer.

Football Club

Ambassadors Mexico opened the doors of its Football Club in February 2015.

Ambassadors Football Club is a program designed to develop young footballers, helping them excel both on and off the field.

Serving children and youth ages 4 to 18, plus men's and women's teams. We use a comprehensive methodology utilizing our three core elements – Football, Faith, Future.

Each player is evaluated and receives personalized feedback from the coaches at the end of the camp.

Tours

Ambassadors Football organizes national and international trips for various purposes, including training (clinics or camps), playing soccer matches, or providing social or humanitarian aid in different cities, states, or countries.

The purpose of this program is to remove individuals from their usual context and allow them to experience both athletic and personal growth through the various activities offered.

Internship Programs

We offer five internship programs that are structured to train individuals in sports ministry. During each internship, interns will also be mentored and grow in three key areas – Leadership, Discipleship, and Evangelism.
