COM-UNITY COURSE PROGRAMME
Purpose
Com-Unity is a presidential programme whose purpose is to improve awareness of the value football can have in a country. As such, the course is intended to improve cooperation and communication between a member association, its government, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working in the country, other partners and the media. The programme further distributes knowledge on communication and marketing skills to help member associations attract partners and sponsors.
Format of Com-unity Courses
Each Com-Unity course is a three-day programme of working sessions organised by the member association in cooperation with FIFA. It brings together key representatives from the government, NGOs, media and the national football family, and is intended to be open to the whole community. Participation by key individuals from the government, the media, actual and potential partners and other organisations is requested and a critical component of this course; invitations for these individuals are to be extended by the member associations hosting the course.
Financial arrangements
FIFA covers the expenses of the instructors and FIFA representatives, course facilities and relevant technical installations, as well as the production and shipment of the course material. The organising member association is responsible for all local transport, customs, tax expenses and any other residual expenses not covered by FIFA.

FUTURO III – FIFA’S PRO-ACTIVE COURSE PROGRAMME
Purpose
FUTURO III focuses on the education of member association instructors in the topics of coaching, refereeing, administration & management and sports medicine. Participants in this programme are expected to be actively teaching in their member associations, both before and after the course.

As such, up to ten countries can benefit from a single FUTURO III course. It is intended that the instructors participating in this programme are active at the end of each course, and as such, relevant activity plans will be elaborated by the participating member associations with the support of FIFA. FIFA will decide on a yearly allocation of courses that endeavours to touch all regions. The courses should be held at facilities financed through the FIFA Goal and/or Financial Assistance Programme whenever possible.
Financial arrangements
FIFA covers the following costs associated with a FUTURO III course: all expenses for the course instructors; a fixed amount towards the accommodation costs for the participants’ course facilities and relevant technical installations; 50% of the participants’ international travel expenses in economy class; teaching material and equipment provided by FIFA.
