The three-time Best FIFA Men’s Player was first introduced to the Foundation by long-time friend and philanthropist Peter Lim, who launched the SOF-Peter Lim Scholarship. The S$20 million commitment by Peter Lim is aimed at helping young deserving sports talents pursue their sporting dreams without being hampered by financial constraints.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s relationship with Singapore began 10 years ago when he made his first visit in 2013. His latest trip will see him spending time with youths and beneficiaries of the SOF-Peter Lim Scholarship, his first time back to the Republic since the recent COVID-19 global lockdowns.

He will also be involved in other youth philanthropic efforts while he is in Singapore to help inspire in youths a winning mindset that goes beyond sports.
