“Football is more than just a game it is the common language, the common ground and understanding that brings together people from every corner of the world, from different ethnicities, cultures genders and gives them a very important feeling of belonging, as football is their social tie that connects them and the motivation to achieve their personal goal, as well as on a community and even on societal level. To me it is the language of hope”
