Sport and education for inclusion since 2012
Champions Factory is a non-profit organisation founded in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 2012. We use sport and non-formal education to include young people, persons with disabilities, women and migrants, and we run EU-funded projects with partners across Europe and Africa. Today we work through four legal entities, in Bulgaria, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Ghana. This page brings together our official data for partners, funders and coordinators preparing EU proposals.
