From the first year of the program’s operation, 9 soccer fields were upgraded and handed over to local communities across the country. At the same time, and always with a focus on social contribution, the Giant Heart supported 15 organizations with widely recognized social work in 2022. 2023 / Giant Heart grows and expands its activities even further. In addition toupgrading 5 more fields and adding football players Kostas Tsimikas and Giannis Konstantelias to its team of ambassadors, Giant Heart continued to demonstrate its commitment to social contribution. It provided tangible support to the residents of Thessaly who were affected by extreme weather events and inaugurated the new action pillar #Novipet for the protection of stray companion animals. Fast forward to today, Giant Heart further strengthens its social work with the initiative “A Ball for Every Child”, giving many children their first professional football and distributing smiles and lifelong memories, along with Giant Heart Ambassador Kostas Tsimikas. The initiative aims to foster a love for sports and team play and create positive role models for young aspiring athletes who want to pursue their dreams. An important moment in the journey of Giant Heart is the inclusion of Thomai Vardali, the first female Ambassador of Giant Heart, bringing women’s football and female inclusion and empowerment in sports to the forefront. At the same time, as part of its ongoing support for local communities, two new fields in the Kifisia Workers’ Housing area are already under reconstruction.
