Through the ’One Day One Goal’ campaign, Peace One Day aims to see football matches played in all United Nations member states on Peace Day, 21 September. Each match will celebrate cooperation, unity and the power of football to bring people together.
What is ’One Day One Goal’?
· an opportunity for individuals, communities and nations to rise above violence, conflict and differences to celebrate a shared passion and a common goal
· football matches played all over the world, whether in major stadiums, local pitches, in the streets, on the beach, etc.
· teams made up of a mix of players who normally may not find themselves playing on the same side - they might be from different cultures, communities, schools, neighborhoods, families, etc.
What Makes a ’One Day One Goal’ Match?
You, a football, and as many people as you can possibly bring together to play.
