Sergi Canós joins Common Goal

Chasing a career in football can mean moving clubs, cities, and countries regularly. For some players, the frequency of movement means they don't develop a strong bond with their community. For Sergi, that couldn't be further from the truth.

Sergi joined Common Goal while playing at Brentford to help strengthen the communities that have helped him become the player he is.

His 1% supports Asociacion Alacran 1997 in his home country Spain, Football Beyond Borders in London, and Fundacion Colombianitos, an organisation based in Colombia where his girlfriend, actress and singer Valeria Emiliani, is from.

"By the time I leave football, I would like to have done something for the community and to make the world a bit better," said Sergi.

"I think it is a big thing that we all, as footballers are united and we do things to help our communities.”
