While the 2014 FIFA World Cup will be reaching its final stage, Brazil will host from 2 to 10 July another major FIFA World Cup event. The community of Caju, in Rio de Janeiro, will stage the Football for Hope Festival 2014, an event which will bring together 32 delegations of young leaders from Football-for-Hope-supported social programmes from Brazil and around the world for a unique intercultural exchange and a football tournament.
The first part of the Festival (2-6 July) will include an array of educational and cultural activities for the delegations. The second part will then culminate with a football tournament (7-10 July), where mixed teams will compete without referees. The Festival will demonstrate the power that football has to bring people together, transform lives and inspire entire communities. It will be an exhibition of fair play, football passion and cultural diversity as reflected by the varied origins of the participating organisations and their delegations. For further details about the Festival’s programme and delegations, please check the below factsheet, match schedule and teaser video.
