When all eyes will be on Russia for the FIFA World Cup 2018, we will not forget about the other side of the world, where youth still fight against social exclusion, gender inequality and domestic violence. Over two hundred marginalised children throughout Mozambique’s poorest communities can taste the sweet feeling of participating in a World Cup this summer and feel like a real football star for a moment.

During 30 days, 50% boys and 50% girls from 16 different communities including street children will meet on the pitch to play and celebrate the beautiful game of football. Favela United will organise the Inclusive Football World Cup 2018 in Maputo, Mozambique. This special football Tournament will take place in one of the city’s largest communities “Bairro da Polana Caniço”.
