What impacts on the field in response to the Sustainable Development Goals?

Sport is emerging as a powerful catalyst for development, transcending cultural and national boundaries to become a vehicle for inclusion, peace, equality and empowerment.

It is a tool that transcends stadiums and fields to directly impact the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Sport, much more than a physical activity, embodies universal values ​​and acts as a powerful lever for sustainable development.
