Palestinian children and young adults have long found joy and solace in playing soccer and following international soccer clubs, but over the past 6 months, Israeli bombs and attacks on Gaza have shattered communities, displacing, disabling, and orphaning many young players.  

In solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, several teams around the world held or are holding matches, raising money for humanitarian aid and advocating for the rights and well-being of Palestinian children and communities. 

The American Friends Service Committee is also asking for your support from anywhere - You can participate too! Visit their website Goals for Gaza | American Friends Service Committee (afsc.org) and/or AFSC's Instagram to see how you can help us score some #GoalsForGaza
