El Poder del Deporte launched a new community sports program in La Matanza on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. The program carries an ambition to reach over 7,000 children and youth through coached training sessions.

Why the launch stands out now

Community sports groups across Buenos Aires continue to expand access for residents of varying ages and backgrounds. The addition of structured sessions in La Matanza adds another option for families seeking regular coached activity outside central districts. This development aligns with existing efforts that already operate in neighbourhoods such as San Telmo and Palermo.

Established local groups and venues

Buenos Aires Fútbol Amigos organises 5-on-5 pickup soccer games open to all skill levels and nationalities. Matches take place in San Telmo on Tuesdays and Thursdays and in Palermo on Saturdays. The city also supports 10 urban cricket clubs that compete in leagues including Liga Metropolitana de Cricket, Torneo de Amigos del Cricket and Liga de Cricket Federal. La nuestra, founded in 2007, maintains safe training spaces for girls, teens, young women, adult women and LGBTIQ+ participants. Valores y Deporte has run the Cancha de los Paraguayos program in the Ricciardelli Neighborhood of Bajo Flores since August 2022.
