We recently launched a unique social network/website specifically designed for young football players from across the globe at worldyouthstars.com and worldyouthstars.com/connect.
Our aim is to provide a platform for players aged 7 - 17 to showcase their football skills and make friends in a safe and protected online environment.
Under their parent's supervision, the players are able to communicate with like minded peers, publish their personal football diaries, view and post their personal football videos and pictures and participate in contests and giveaways in a Facebook-like application.
We are the first social network in the world to cater solely for young footballers from across the globe. We provide equal opportunities to players of all races, colors and background. Our aim is to use our social network as a medium to unite, inspire and give hope to young people who may be having a hard time in their day to day lives.
As a direct consequence of our aims, we launched our website publicly from Bosnia Herzegovina. Following the highly publicized conflict in the region in the 90s, we believe the Balkans are a perfect stepping stone and litmus test in our quest of uniting the world's young players around a common cause - football.
In only the first few weeks since the launch, we have seen children from Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia making friends and sharing football videos and photos and most importantly communicating on our social network - an achievement that the politicians here have failed to reach in over 15 years since the conflict ended.
By launching in Bosnia we have been able to help clubs and players at the grassroots levels by giving away footballs, kits and computers as we visit clubs across the country
We see the Balkans as a miniature reflection of the world. The countries of the Balkans provide an intersection of Western and Eastern cultures and as such offer all the beauty and diversity of both.
We want to unite the children of the world around football and in the process build tolerance and understanding between cultures and nations - and we believe this can happen through football.
