Eat for Goals! App

Eat for Goals! is a cookery app available in English and Spanish which gives young people and families the information they need to cook the same heart-healthy meals as some of the world’s top footballers including Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul Pogba and Lotta Schelin.

Once the app is downloaded, young people aged 7+ are encouraged to ‘score a goal’ to see recipes from 11 of their favourite football legends. Each player shares what he or she loves to eat and gives the recipe for his or her favourite dish.

As well as seeing what football stars like to eat, the app also provides interesting food facts and step-by-step instructions, making it easy for even the less-experienced to make delicious, balanced meals in no time at all.

Physical activity is an important part of an active, healthy lifestyle and an essential factor in improving our young people’s health. The World Heart Federation and Healthy Stadia fully supports the Eat for Goals! initiative as it combines the goals of promoting healthy nutrition and active lifestyles to children and their parents in a fun and educational way.

Eat for Goals! was originally created as a book under the patronage of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), World Heart Federation, Healthy Stadia and the European Commission.
