Fabulous football
“When we have all these young people coming together to play sport, they're engaging in something that's bigger than the individual.” – Vimbai, Zimbabwe
Sport is an incredibly powerful gift. It can unite people from all walks of life, and gives children the chance to enjoy the fun of childhood.
In Zimbabwe, our partners are organising community sports days to promote peace and give young people the chance to come together in a spirit of fun, hope and comradery.
Vimbai, who works for our local partner, said:
“When we have all these young people coming together to play sport, they're engaging in something that's bigger than the individual. It's a team effort. It's not just me. We build peace through having them come to a place like this where they participate together, they fight for common cause, and we appreciate that we win together and we lose together.”

"I'm delighted to be supporting CAFOD's new World Gift, Fabulous football. I know from my own experience just how much football can change lives. When I started out at Tranmere Rovers as a teenager, I was incredibly lucky to have amazing teammates and coaches who believed in me. They helped me grow as a player and gave me confidence that stayed with me throughout my career.
Football is about so much more than the game. It brings people together, builds friendships and teaches teamwork and respect. That's why I love seeing people getting the chance to play and enjoy sport. I truly believe it's one of the greatest gifts you can give someone." - Sue Smith, former England Lioness
