⚽ World Cup Tournament 2026 – Women’s Football for Somalia Orphans

Join us for a day of football, sisterhood and purpose as we come together for our Women’s World Cup Tournament in support of orphaned children in Somalia.

Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up safe, healthy and hopeful. Yet thousands of orphaned children in Somalia face daily challenges including hunger, poverty, limited access to education and a lack of basic necessities.

By taking part in this tournament, you are helping to give vulnerable children the support they need to build a brighter future.

Why We’re Doing This

The Prophet ﷺ said:

"I and the one who sponsors an orphan will be in Paradise like these two," and he held his forefinger and middle finger close together. (Bukhari)

Sport has the power to bring people together, and through this tournament we hope to unite women from across our communities to make a lasting difference in the lives of orphaned children.

⚽ Nutritious food and essential living support

⚽ Access to education and learning materials

⚽ Healthcare and medical assistance

⚽ Clothing and everyday necessities
