About One Day One Goal

Football for some, soccer for others – with the support of puma.peace, Peace One Day is using the power of the beautiful game to spread the message of Peace Day with One Day One Goal.

The idea of One Day One Goal is simple: to see football matches played on 21 September in every one of the 192 member states of the United Nations and beyond. These matches unite people from different communities and different cultures who would never normally play together. And all you need to participate is a ball and a patch of land.

Goals for 2010

In the year of the first-ever FIFA World Cup to be held in Africa, Peace One Day wants to build on the fantastic success of our 2009 One Day One Goal campaign. Peace One Day's priorities for 2010 are:

192 UN MEMBER STATES

  • In 2010 we will be working to repeat the success of our 2009 campaign to instigate at least one football match in every United Nations Member State on Peace Day and increase the number of matches within each of those countries.

UNITY MATCHES

  • Manifest as many matches as we can that focus on using football to resolve conflict.

AFRICA

  • Arrange hundreds of matches across Africa celebrating football's power to unite the continent in the year of Africa's first ever World Cup.

One Day One Goal was launched in 2008 at the Africa Cup of Nations with the inaugural One Day One Goal game and could never have happened without the generous support of PUMA. Watch Jochen Zeitz, Chairman and CEO of PUMA, on how sport can bring people together on Peace Day.
