🕊️ Football for peace: FIFA and Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza | OneFootball

FIFA and the newly created Council of Peace have sealed an unprecedented strategic alliance.

This agreement aims to use football as a driving force for reconstruction and stability in regions affected by conflicts, focusing its initial efforts on Gaza. The project was ratified by Gianni Infantino and international representatives following the summit led by the U.S. President, Donald J. Trump.

The ambitious comprehensive recovery program combines the development of sports infrastructure with education and economic growth. Among the most notable measures, the construction of 50 "FIFA Arena" mini-fields, a high-performance academy, and a national stadium with a capacity for 20,000 spectators is planned, designed to host sports and cultural events.

The project, in several phases

The implementation will be divided into four progressive phases. The first stage, which will begin as soon as security allows, will focus on social activation through safe play spaces. Subsequently, the construction of regulation fields, the creation of an academy of excellence, and finally, the building of the large national stadium will take place.

Beyond sports, this initiative is designed to generate local employment and strengthen social cohesion in the long term. According to Infantino, football has the unique ability to unite people and contribute to a more prosperous and equal planet, providing tangible results in each phase of the peace process.
