BONPYE

More Than Football.

More Than a Ball.

A Way of Being.

Love. Peace. Unity.

These are not just words at BONPYE.

They are the values that guide every touch, every pass, and every story we tell.

BONPYE was born in the streets — where football is not learned, but lived.

In Haitian football culture, a BONPYE is not just a skilled player.

A BONPYE is someone who creates, improvises, and expresses freedom through the ball.

Someone whose feet speak before their mouth ever needs to.

BONPYE is mastery.

BONPYE is imagination.

BONPYE is soul.

BONPYE comes from Lafossette, a neighborhood where talent had no stadium, no cameras, and no guarantees — only dreams.

It comes from the story of Peterson Bonpied Jerome, a seven-year-old boy whose relationship with a soccer ball became a language, a refuge, and a future.

That ball did more than roll.

It listened.

It remembered.

It carried stories.

Stories like these do not disappear.

They find a voice.

BONPYE tells its story through books, plays, and cinema — not as entertainment, but as testimony.

Stories written, spoken, and filmed from the streets.

Stories where the ball becomes the narrator, the witness, and the bridge between generations.

Through works such as Dear Soccer Ball, BONPYE — The Messenger, Finally, the Ball Has Spoken, and We Are BONPYE, BONPYE preserves memory, honors truth, and reminds the world that football is more than a game.

It is a language.

It is a culture.

It is a force that brings people closer.

And the story continues — through future works rooted in lived experience, creativity, and the power of the beautiful game.

BONPYE stands for:

• Street football as culture, not background noise

• Creativity over conformity

• Roots before recognition

• Joy before validation

• Memory before marketing

• Love, Peace, and Unity as a way of life

BONPYE honors the places the world often overlooks — and the brilliance that comes from them.

A World Connected by the Beautiful Game

From Haïti to the world, BONPYE builds bridges through the beautiful game.

Through culture, education, philanthropic action, fashion, and storytelling, BONPYE uses football as a force for connection — proving that a single ball can unite neighborhoods, countries, and hearts.

This is how BONPYE moves.

This is how BONPYE connects.

This is how BONPYE brings people closer.

Because football speaks a universal language.

Because a ball can erase differences.

Because love, peace, and unity are still possible — when we choose to play together.

BONPYE exists to remind the world that the beautiful game has the power to unite us.

This Is BONPYE

Not just something you watch.

Not just something you buy.

Something you feel.

Something you share.

Something that brings us together.

Love. Peace. Unity.
