Golden Blocks is driven by the desire to give equal opportunities to young people from disadvantaged urban and rural areas by making sports accessible to all! Since its creation in 2014 by Boro Doucouré, Matthieu Lahaye, and French 110-meter hurdles legend Ladji Doucouré, Golden Blocks has reached over 20 000 young people in France. Through annual athletics tours and innovative events, the organization reveals talents and offers more than 40 athletics licenses to promising young people each year.
In 2021, the association took a new step by launching the Golden Blocks Academy. The new structure aims to inspire and train youth in sports-related careers. Golden Blocks believes in the power of sports practice to transform lives and entire communities. By bringing the stadium to the heart of disadvantaged neighbourhoods, Golden Blocks aims to break down barriers and open pathways to a more inclusive and egalitarian future.
Congratulations for this great project that continues to grow!
