With the world watching Mexico City and excitedly anticipating the FIFA World Cup 2026, OmniWin Impact Foundation for Girls is partnering with Street Child United to create its own World Cup moment. Providing a global platform to uplift girls and women through sport, OmniWin is aligning with the world’s most-watched sporting event with a powerful platform for visibility and influence like no other.
OmniWin has earned its reputation as an impact platform, seizing historic moments and powerful partners to spotlight its mission of building partnerships that tackle global challenges like hunger, poverty, education, healthcare, at-risk communities, human rights, and allowing all children to have dignity, opportunity, and hope. In this instance, the convergence of power is aimed at sport, media, and leadership, which creates an unprecedented moment for girls to step into the spotlight and lead with confidence.
At Women Connect4Good, we know that girls who play sports today become the women leaders of tomorrow. Girls develop self-confidence through mutual support and shared achievements on the field. Sports foster deep connections, turning teams into supportive communities where girls feel valued and united, all of which help girls learn leadership skills that empower them to lead both on and off the field.
When Ed Martin—former Fortune 500 executive, OmniWin co-founder, and Women Connect4Good board member—shared information about OmniWin Impact’s initiative to connect leadership and girls in sport, in partnership with the Street Child United World Cup, we had to share the news. OmniWin is not a program, but a platform that unites programs for maximum impact. Their website frames it as, “Creating impact where all stakeholders win — by forging connections between unlikely partners.” FIFA World Cup 2026 is perfectly aligned with the global focus showing girls and women competing and achieving. And Street Child United provides the global reach to connect with girls in over 20 countries worldwide through sport and leadership.
This moment presents a historic opportunity to advance women in leadership at the highest levels—across corporate, political, and social arenas—creating a powerful mirror for girls to see themselves stepping into leadership on the field and in top positions in the future. It could be a transformative milestone for women’s empowerment through sport.
The world is watching and investing in women’s leadership. The time is crucial for moving it forward or allowing the momentum to be squelched. This platform serves as the engine powering a global movement for girls and women through sports. It seamlessly connects girls with women leaders and expansive networks, bridging local programs to international visibility. Turning individual passion into collective opportunity transforms isolated moments into lasting movements. This dynamic ecosystem fuels leadership, fosters community, and amplifies the voices of girls worldwide, creating sustained impact beyond the game.
This is the moment. When girls lift each other up, they don’t just win games—they change the world. Together, we can build the future of women’s leadership by fostering empowerment, unity, and strength on and off the field. Join us in creating a lasting movement that celebrates leadership, passion, and opportunity for every girl, everywhere.
