The Asmir Begovic Foundation was set up to enable both the building and improvement of recreational facilities in the UK and in Asmir’s country of birth, Bosnia and Hercegovina.

As a professional sportsman Asmir is passionate about encouraging kids to be active and live a fun and healthy lifestyle, with the opportunity to partake in various sports activities. These simple changes are fundamental to providing children with the facilities that empower them to lead a health and active life. The projects that have benefited within the community take place through the support of the Foundation's partners, friends and the general public.

Asmir said: "I consider myself to be very fortunate in my life to play a sport that I love and has given a lot back to me for which I am grateful for everyday. I feel it is important to invest in future of our next generation. Sports have always played a big part in my family and it is something we are very passionate about. Partaking in sports and activities is a great way for kids to have fun and also learn many different skills such as interacting with other kids. I am sure we will get involved in many different projects and I am looking forward to being a part of that. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved for their support with this cause and I am sure we will make a difference together."
