Hout Bay United Football Community Trust, founded in 2015, has been instrumental in uniting the communities of Hout Bay, uplifting youth through mentorship, and bringing pride to the area through successful football programs.
The club operates 14 teams with around 500 players across all age groups, races, and genders, all exclusively from Hout Bay.
Jürgen Klopp has been a patron of Hout Bay United, supporting their initiatives and community efforts. In November 2017, he hosted a fundraising event at the Bay Harbour Market, raising approximately R300 000 for the club, covering their operating costs for several months.
He's not only donated to the club's children's charity he's also donated kits and helped build a multi-purpose centre that includes a skate park, basketball court, fitness facilities and a netball court.
