These are the values that lie at the heart of the Mali Most’s mission and vision: diversity, tolerance, respect, equality, teamwork and suistainability .
Mali Most aims to promote interaction between children of various ethnic, religious and cultural groups through sporting activities and games, to create a safe environment to play sport together and to further develop sport and life skills. Mali Most also offers a football for girls program, to provide an outlet for young girls to participate in football related skill practices in a playful setting.
2018
The introduction of the girl’s specific program of the academy started this year. During one week in June, the academy hosted children from Japan as a second part of the cultural exchange visits. The children visited both Sarajevo and Mostar, which was an incredible experience for all the parties involved. Throughout the year, SC Kantarevac has hosted many school events, including the workshop “#GrowingUpDancing” and “Football No Limits”.
2017
Children of the Little Bridge Sports Academy visited Japan as part of a first cultural exchange study trip sponsored by Banpaku and Housecom. Additionally, they participated in the local leagues in the Mostar region, as well as organized workshops together with Football No Limits and United World College. Little Bridge Sports Academy was also awarded the International Sports Award for the Sports Community of the Year.
2016
The sport center Kantarevac is fully renovated and reopened for the Little Bridge Sports Academy with 55 regular participants. Open Doors days were organised for many schools and local organisations to visit SC Kantarevac and to get to know the operation of the academy. Children tried out different sports including swimming, climbing and rugby as well as participated in several workshop and new friendships were formed from around the country.

Dženan Suta is appointed as the foundation's Project Manager.

The Mali Most foundation is officially registered on a national level with three visits to BiH taken place throughout the year.

Importantly, the home of the sports academy, SC Kantarevac, is being selected.
2013
