From Kickoff to Change:
25 Tournaments for a Better World
The Global Goals World Cup (GGWCUP) leverages the universal language of sports to promote the United Nations Global Goals (SDGs).
Our tournaments bring together diverse teams of women from around the world, fostering a spirit of unity and inclusivity. With 25 tournaments held worldwide, GGWCUP has become a global movement, demonstrating the power of sports to drive positive change and create pathways for individual and collective action.
The first Global Goals World Cup (GGWCUP) took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, in May 2016 — only 8 months after the UN signed the Global Goals.
Drummer Ihan Haydar has volunteered in New York City and Nairobi on multiple occasions since 2017.
September 19, 2017. Our second Global Goals World Cup Finals took place during Global Goals Week and the UN General Assembly.
Big congrats to Moving The Goal Post from Kenya for bringing the trophy home!
First time in India. On February 2, 2019 in Mumbai, India, 24 teams came together and the whole GGWCUP movement so much love and attention.

The 16th Global Goals World Cup, held in Amman, Jordan, in May 2021, marked a historic milestone as the first tournament in the Middle East to be conducted in Arabic.
Partnering with the local organization Rise for Good, the event overcame the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic to bring together teams from across the region.
We're dedicated to empowering women from all walks of life by providing a platform for advocacy and sustainable development.
The Global Goals World Cup (and our Sensational League) create inclusive spaces where women can connect, compete, and make a positive impact.
