Street Child World Cup 2026

Team Palestine participates in the Street Child World Cup, a global sporting and advocacy event organized by Street Child United. The tournament brings together teams of children with lived experience of street-connectedness from around the world, using football as a platform to amplify their voices and advocate for children’s rights.

In the 2026 edition in Mexico, 10 girls from the Tulkarem District will represent Team Palestine, carrying their stories, experiences, and aspirations to the international stage. These girls come from communities affected by conflict, movement restrictions, and limited access to safe spaces for sport and play.

As the Team Sponsor, your support makes it possible for 10 girls and 2 staff members to fully participate in the Street Child World Cup 2026, covering essential costs related to preparation, travel, participation, and safeguarding.

Participation in the Street Child World Cup goes beyond football. It provides the players with opportunities for psychosocial support, leadership development, cultural exchange, and rights-based advocacy. Through matches, workshops, and public forums, the girls engage with peers from around the world and speak directly to international audiences and decision-makers about the realities facing children in Palestine.

Through sport and collective action, Team Palestine showcases resilience, empowerment, and hope—demonstrating how football can be a powerful tool for social inclusion, child protection, and positive change. This journey is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors. We are proud to work with our Main Team Sponsor:
