Given this social problem and addressing the multiple requests of the leaders of neighboring communities, in 2004 Incauca decided to start one of its greatest works in community investment: The Incauca Soccer School.

It was decided to start with a headquarters located in the facilities of its sugar plant, with a first admission of 300 children and youths, all from neighboring communities.

In 2006 and thanks to the impact, it was necessary to open seven more branches in the communities of Villapaz (Jamundí), Tiple (Candelaria), Llano de Taula (Guachene), Tarragona and Chococito (Florida), Ortigal (Miranda), Puerto Tejada, Cali (children with different abilities) and Corinto, in 2014 we opened the headquarters of El Cerrito and Santa Elena.
