Buntkicktgut is an intercultural street football league for children and young people. Unique in Europe,^[1] the non-profit organization brings children, young people, and adults together from different cultures and social backgrounds in a playful way through its ongoing pioneering work. The approach develops boys and girls all year round, through continuous leagues in several different age groups. With its special form of participation, integration, and identification, Buntkicktgut harnesses the power of street football to enhance the social prospects of the youth based on the promise that football is a common language that it is understood worldwide.^[2]

The initiative strives to bring together people from different cultural, social, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, through their involvement not only as participants, but also as organizers and creators. In addition to the location in Munich, there are now street football leagues following the model and accreditation of Buntkicktgut in Dortmund, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Basel, Würzburg, and a multi-city league in Niederbayern.
