Cruyff Foundation Conference 2026

After a successful first edition in 2025, we will again organise the Cruyff Foundation Conference in the Jaarbeurs Utrecht on Tuesday 10 February. This year, we are focusing on a theme that is more urgent than ever: mental health among young people.

More and more young people are experiencing pressure, stress and mental challenges. School results, social expectations, (online) performance pressure and limited access to support have a major impact. As a society - and certainly within sport, education and the work field around young people - we bear joint responsibility for making young people stronger, more resilient and confident. Sport and exercise can be a powerful tool in this regard.

During this edition, we will share new insights, address key issues and create space for open conversations that can lead to sustainable solutions. Together with you - with professionals, policymakers, coaches, partner organisations and other stakeholders - we can really make a difference.
