Everyone in the sport ecosystem has a role to play in improving the lives of displaced people and their host communities – and together we can achieve far more. For this reason, everyone – from grassroots organizations through to national and international organizations – is invited to join the Multi-stakeholder Pledge on Sport for Inclusion and Protection. By making a commitment under the pledge, you can also join the Sport for Refugees Coalition.
