Sport creates friendship, brings peace, and offers moments of joy where people can forget their daily struggles and feel a sense of hope and belonging.
On the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace 2026, youth, women, girls, persons with disabilities, and community leaders in Cox’s Bazar camps and host communities engaged in rallies, football matches, and fun games under the theme, "Sport: Building Bridges, Breaking Barriers." The activities created inclusive and safe spaces where communities strengthened teamwork, social bonds, and peaceful coexistence through sport.
With support from UNHCR and UEFA Foundation for Children, these initiatives are helping communities reduce stress, encourage positive engagement among youth, and create a more connected and supportive environment in their daily lives.
