More about Global Goals World Cup
Global Goals World Cup is a unique amateur women’s activist football tournament, which uses the universal language and power of sport to unite women from across the world to become change makers in their local communities. By signing up to play in the tournament, women are committing to take action on one of the 17 Global Goals. Working with women at the local level, in addition to private and public organizations across different regions, GGWCup galvanizes mass engagement with, and action on, the Global Goals at a national and international level.
The tournament is designed to be exclusively for women. This is based on the understanding that women are so often excluded from participating in development action at both a local and global level. GGWCup seeks to redress this by creating a fun and supportive environment in which women take the lead on tackling issues which are important to them.
