The project aims to popularize sports activities internationally and develop general awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle from an early age, and to encourage children to develop social skills and healthy habits through sports and educational activities, divided into several programs and tournaments.
The main component of the project is the Croatia Trophy tournament, an international football and handball competition for children and young people aged 9 to 17, which brings together more than 2,000 participants.

The project is intended for children with disabilities, and was designed based on the fact that children with disabilities aged 9 to 17 are not sufficiently included in currently available recreational sports activity programs.
More than 200 participants from the following teams will take part in the project: Special power team Dinamo Zagreb, Special power team Hajduk, Special power team Lokomotiva Zagreb, Special power team Rijeka, Special power team Slaven Belupo, Special power team Sloga Čakovec, Special power team GOŠK Dubrovnik, Special power team Istra 1961, Fundació Barça Genuine (Catalonia), Special power team Munich 1860 (Germany), Special power team Mungosi (Serbia), Special power team ASKO Wolfnitz (Austria), Special power team Rapid Vienna (Austria), Special power team ASKO Wolfsberg (Austria), Special power team Spillerpass (Austria).
