Football<br />
for<br />
Peace<br />
50<br />
On<br />
Thursday 22nd November 2018, twelve year 10<br />
students were selected to attend this prestigious<br />
event at the Copper Box Arena, Queen Elizabeth Olympic<br />
Park. The event was attended by His Royal Highness, The<br />
Duke of Cambridge to showcase the work of the charity<br />
delivered in recent ‘City for Peace’ projects in London,<br />
Luton and Birmingham. The event marked the culmination<br />
of the hard work and commitment from their new ‘Football<br />
for Peace Youth Leaders’ who are running a football<br />
tournament, coaching and managing school teams from<br />
across the UK from a variety of cultures, faiths and socioeconomic<br />
backgrounds, impacting on them positively to<br />
bring about change and contribute to a more cohesive<br />
and tolerant community. Sport has the power to advance<br />
humanity and to help connect people, from individuals to<br />
communities to nations. It is hoped The Football for Peace<br />
initiative can be at the long-term service of peace.<br />
Mehmoona Yousaf (Senior Teacher)<br />
“Football for Peace is a diplomatic football movement which brings<br />
people together to create understanding through the beautiful game.<br />
We believe football is uniquely placed to transcend the differences<br />
of nationality, ethnicity, religion and gender. We are living in a<br />
time, which has never been so connected and yet, ironically, has<br />
rarely been more divided. Fear of one another’s cultures, customs<br />
and beliefs have led to misunderstanding and isolation, leaving<br />
communities disenfranchised, facing preconceptions and negative<br />
stereotyping”.<br />
Jay Jadeja (Chief Executive Officer)<br />
“The football for peace trip was to say the<br />
least quite inspiring. Football For Peace is an<br />
organisation that brings divided communities<br />
together over their love for football, and getting<br />
to see some of these self-driven coaches was<br />
truly motivating. As well as getting to see these<br />
charitable people do what they love, some big<br />
names of the footballing world also attended<br />
including Mesut Özil, Mamadou Sakho not to<br />
mention Prince William. Altogether it was very<br />
informative and taught me and my peers that we<br />
should get involved and try and make a difference”.<br />
Adi Asskoumi (year 10)<br />
“I learnt that football isn’t just a sport, it’s a bond<br />
that unites over 3 billion people worldwide”.<br />
Liban Hersi (year 10)<br />
“The football for peace trip was a truly<br />
motivational experience; watching the youngsters<br />
graduate and be recognised by Prince William in<br />
this ceremony was inspiring. Young kids like me<br />
have been brought together to coach students, who<br />
have overcome challenges through their common<br />
love of sport”.<br />
Asha Egal (year 10)<br />
“What an unforgettable day! I saw a childhood<br />
inspiration, Mesut Ozil with my own eyes, and it<br />
is fair to say I got a little too excited! I couldn’t<br />
comprehend that I was in the same building as<br />
someone who has played alongside the greatest of<br />
all time, Cristiano Ronaldo! If that wasn’t enough,<br />
on the way out of the Copper Box, I managed to<br />
charm Sakho into taking a photo with me”.<br />
Endri Basaj (year 10)<br />
“On the trip I heard about young people who had<br />
experienced difficulties in life. It really made me<br />
think about how much I take things for granted.<br />
The enjoyable part of the day was also seeing<br />
a number of famous people including Prince<br />
William”.<br />
