On May 21st and 22nd, Where is Football attended the Football For The Goals Forum for World Football Day at the United Nations, as a member and as a storytelling partner for the initiative.

In addition to capturing the forum from all angles, we joined a panel on football’s role in driving social and community impact, and helped design the global media and creative strategy for this year’s World Football Day.

It was an incredible experience to learn from and exchange ideas with other members, and to be trusted with shaping the creative for the event. We left the forum feeling more invigorated and dedicated to continuing our work together. It is a collaboration founded on the shared idea that football, as a universal language, can and should be a tool to uplift and enrich human life around the world.

“Organizations who are closer to the challenges are often furthest from the resources.”

The forum was a great success but this is only the beginning. We are looking forward to the future of FFTG, World Football Day, and our continued sharing of ideas and expertise in service of using the beautiful game for the good of humanity.
