Since 2013, Peace and Sport has been at the forefront of a global movement, uniting the worlds of peace and sport to highlight the transformative power of sport in building peace. This year’s campaign delivers a critical call to action: in 2024, more than 460 million children—over one in six—were living in conflict zones, enduring daily hardships and instability. In these turbulent circumstances, sport serves as a vital tool for peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and healing.

Sport offers children more than just hope—it provides structure, confidence, and the opportunity to foster mutual respect, understanding, and collaboration. We invite you to stand with us in championing sport as a vital priority for the 460 million children whose futures are shaped by conflict.

On April 6th, 2025, the Winter Sports Federation Pakistan marked the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, emphasizing the powerful truth: where there is no sport, there can be no peace.
