FP Markets is committed to giving back to the global community by taking part in projects that can make a positive and lasting social impact.
Together with The Brazilian Cricket Confederation (“Cricket Brasil”), we aim to empower Brazilian youth, provide life-changing opportunities, and sustainable community development through sport and education.
Founded in 2001, with the goal of introducing cricket to the football-dominated country, Cricket Brasil started off with just over a few hundred players. Through its work on the ground, over the years, Cricket Brasil has managed to positively impact the lives of over 82,000 people through the sport, including professional and amateur cricketers, coaches, coaching staff, project leaders, community members and more.
Today, Cricket Brasil – also known as the official Brazilian Cricket Confederation – is the only national body recognised by the International Cricket Council (ICC), of which it has been a member since 2006. Its teams are set to participate in ICC World Cup and Olympic Games qualifiers.
Cricket as a Catalyst for Change
Cricket Brasil launched its Youth Development Programme in 2009, aiming to create positive change in underserved communities by providing access to sports facilities, equipment and coaching. More importantly, it sought to instil sportsmanship values, promote education and foster a sense of belonging, while also offering young Brazilians the chance to attend university through its scholarship scheme.
From just 24 children in 2009, there are now around 5,600 participants in Poços de Caldas alone. To meet the programme’s increasing popularity, local Physical Education teachers are also being trained to become cricket coaches. Through vital partnerships, such as the one with FP Markets, Cricket Brasil can continue the important work they do for communities across the country.

We believe in the power of sport to bring positive change, and we are dedicated to making a lasting impact through this collaboration.
