⚽️ In celebration of the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, we're sharing a few snapshots from NP #SouthSudan— these are from a #peace tournament between community peace teams in #Juba IDP camp last September!

#SportForDevelopment #PlayForPeace
A group of participants in the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace pose together in Juba IDP camp, South Sudan. They stand behind a banner that reads "Cultivating a Culture of Peace pie̱th cie̱ŋä mälä," dated September 21, 2024. The photo captures a moment of unity and celebration among community peace teams. Players in blue and white jerseys actively move across a dirt playing field, showcasing the dynamic action of a football match aimed at promoting peace. The background shows spectators and local structures, highlighting the community involvement in the event. Teams dressed in blue and white jerseys walk together across a playing field under a bright sky in Juba, South Sudan. This image was taken during a peace tournament, reflecting a moment of camaraderie and sportsmanship among the participants.
