EVENT DETAILS
DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF FEMALE VOICES TO CHANGE THE WORLD?
And do you think sport is a catalyst for change and dialogue? If you answered yes then we invite you to take part in the 2018 South African Global Goals World Cup!
On October 13, 24 teams from across South Africa and abroad will converge in Johannesburg to take part in the first South African Global Goals World Cup. Teams from local qualifier tournaments in Limpopo, Kwa-Zulu Natal, The Free State and Gauging are already preparing to make their way to Johannesburg in October to play against YOU!
WHO CAN PLAY?
A Global Goals World Cup team consists of any 5-8 women aged 13 and up. You can represent an organization, a company, a country or just yourselves!
To enter, you must be available to be in Johannesburg on October 13 2018. Unless otherwise indicated by the organizers, teams must cover their own travel and accommodation.
To play in our tournament soccer skills are optional, but passion for sustainable development is mandatory! Crowd engagement, taking action for the SDGs as well as your original team style will all be counted as you score points for change! Goals World Cup is the first ever activist world cup for amateur women.
WHY WE PLAY
Our tournaments are as much about enjoying sport as they are about bringing all kinds of amazing women together to meet, play and make some noise for the world we want. Since 2016 Global Goals World Cup events around the world have brought adolescent girls and women together with stakeholders from all parts of society to form plans, actions and partnerships to achieve the 17 Sustainable Goals
