GGWCUP Jordan 2021
The first Global Goals World Cup in Jordan hosted by Rise For Good.
The first tournament in Jordan was held in May 2021 in Amman, Jordan. No other GGWCUP roster before has been challenged by a year like 2020 - and never before have we seen how the teams remained championing the Global Goals when everything closed.
The teams represent a variety of entities including large local and regional corporations, local foundations, Universities, NGOs and teams of women from refugee camps hosting Syrian and Palestinian refugees and refugee’s living in the Jordanian host community.
The best teams for the world
All participating teams are breaking barriers in sports, in their communities and society as a whole. Here are the awarded teams in Jordan:
Overall Champion - Leaf A Mark - Global Goal 15
Runner-up - Plastiqua - Global Goal 12

Crowd Champion - GAME Jordan - Global Goal 11

Teams from across Jordan united in Amman to play for the world
The all-women teams call for everyone to take the ball and support the UN Global Goals.
A GGWCUP is an all-women 5v5 football tournament and to participate each team must adopt and take action for one of the 17 Global Goals. The teams are ranked by how they promote the Goal on and off the field.

“We play for Goal 5 (and 3 + 4) because we want girls from refugee and host communities, to reinforce the culture of sport in communities where access to sport is impossible, especially for girls.”
