MTG celebrates the 2nd International Day of Sport for Development and Peace with Football3 tournament

Moving the Goalposts Kilifi is organising a football3 tournament during the second International Day of Sport for Development and Peace. The theme of their day will be: "United Action towards Sustainable Development for all through Sport". During this day, partner organizations will come together to experience how sports can be used as a tool for promoting peace in their communities.

Organisations will play a one day football3 tournament with other organizations from Kilifi and beyond. The tournament will be made up of 3 male, 3 female, one coach and one mediator to reflect the inclusive aspect of the programme.

The IDSDP offers a new opportunity to promote sport and physical activity as a cost-effective and meaningful tool that can address a wide range of needs related to: education, health, social inclusion, youth development, gender equality, peace building and sustainable development. It also provides a notable platform to advocate among governments for more investment in sport, related infrastructure and quality physical education for youth.

This event celebrates the work that is being carried out around the world by the IOC, National Olympic Committees, International and National Sports Federations, sports clubs, governmental and non-governmental organisations, neighbourhood associations and all other entities and volunteers who believe that sport is an effective tool for social development.
