Beyond the game: Expanding access and opportunity through sport

For us, sport is bigger than the game.

Sports have the power to inspire us, unite us, even strengthen entire communities. Bank of America is proud to partner with iconic sports brands like FIFA World Cup 2026™, the Masters Tournament and the Chicago Distance Series. Together we celebrate and support all those driven to achieve, in sports and in life.

Through these partnerships, we support programs that strengthen communities and expand access to sport. Our Sports with Us platform brings this commitment to life by using sport to empower the next generation, provide them with greater access and opportunity, and drive lasting impact.

Most recently, Bank of America announced it is expanding Sports with Us globally through a new sports and skills initiative that aims to impact more than 10,000 young people by the end of 2028. The program will support young people aged 11 to 24 from disadvantaged or underserved communities, combining sport with life skills, wellbeing, and pathways that can support access to education and employment.

Specific initiatives under this platform include youth programs like Soccer at Schools and Golf with Us, as well as community engagement efforts such as Bank of America Fields at Visa Street Soccer Parks – all designed to strengthen community ties, expand participation and grow sports for the next generation.

In addition, Bank of America announced it is partnering with Street Child United (SCU) to amplify youth voices through soccer through its #IAmSomebody Tour. Together with SCU, Bank of America is helping expand access to soccer, elevate youth voices and drive community impact during FIFA World Cup 2026™ and beyond. SCU is a youth-led global movement using the power of sport to transform how the world sees and treats street-connected young people.

Together, these efforts reflect our belief that sport can do more than inspire – it can open doors, strengthen communities and help the next generation realize the power of their potential. It’s one more way we champion everyone who dares to ask: What would you like the power to do?®
