Mega sporting events expose children to a number of risks and opportunities. Terre de Hommes' Children Win campaign shares the voices of the children impacted by preparations for Rio 2016 and the FIFA World Cup.
Terre des Hommes launched the Children Win campaign in February 2014 to ensure that leading sports bodies mitigate risks and enhance opportunities of mega sporting events on children, both directly and indirectly. Terre des Hommes has commissioned and collected articles and videos featuring views and opinions of children linked to mega sporting events including: FIFA World Cup™ 2010 in South Africa, FIFA World Cup™ 2014 and Olympic Games 2016 in Rio.
