UPF San Marino: A Kick for Peace - 16 Israeli-Palestinian teens play football

Having overcome the pandemic emergency, which put the last two editions on hold, the San Marino summer returns to embrace the “A Football for Peace” project, promoted by the San Marino Football Federation in collaboration with the Universal Peace Federation. Sixteen teenage boys, from the Israeli-Palestinian area and belonging to different denominational backgrounds, will be guests on San Marino soil until next Monday. The project aims to foster integration and dialogue through the game of soccer and the sharing of an experience abroad. Having landed late yesterday evening at Bologna airport, boys and instructors were accompanied by FSGC to the Republic, where they will stay for the entire weekend. In the afternoon of today the first activities: having disposed of the physiological tiredness of the trip, at 3 p.m. the sixteen boys will be involved in a training session at the Federico Crescentini stadium in Fiorentino, together with peers from the San Marino Academy.

Instead, the Audience granted by Captains Regent H.E. Oscar Mina and H.E. Paolo Rondelli is set for tomorrow morning, which will also be attended by representatives of FSGC and UPF (Universal Peace Federation). On Saturday’s program, in addition to lunch organized in the historic center of San Marino, there will be another training session at the Montegiardino facility. Sunday morning, on the other hand, a friendly match is scheduled, together with San Marino and Italian peers who are part of the San Marino Academy, before an afternoon of leisure and fun in Montecerreto - at the San Marino Adventures. With the hope that, as it has been for the many other Israeli-Palestinian peers and compatriots who have participated in this project in recent years, an unforgettable and formative experience will also loom for the boys who arrived yesterday in the Republic.
