This team believes in sport and its benefits for all. And they believe we can achieve it by changing discriminatory laws and cultural practices and beliefs.

You may have read the tragic news that a young Iranian woman self-immolated rather than face a prison term after being arrested for disguising herself as a man to watch sport.
We are proud to advance women's rights through sport - on this issue which denies their rights to gather in public spaces and participate in society fully. Our Global Goals World Cup team will play for SDG5 and to raise support against this gender discrimination, – Mara Gubuan, Founder and Coalition-Builder.
