Milano — an international and innovative city — is deeply connected to the values of sport and stands as a benchmark for sustainability, inclusion, and cultural change. Its central role in the European landscape and vibrant civic participation make it the ideal place to host an event with a forward-looking vision.

The program kicked off October 26, 2025 with a public gathering at Teatro Carcano, where the project was presented and the importance of women’s sport discussed with guests, athletes, and leading figures in the field.

From there, a series of activities will unfold for schools, universities, and citizens — including talks, workshops, educational programs, and a photography exhibition (January–May 2026) entirely dedicated to women’s empowerment through sport.

June 6–7, 2026 marks the highlight: two days of women’s five-a-side football, transforming Milan into a model city for the future of women’s sport — and creating lasting social impact and local pride.

Who Can Play

Open to all women 16+, the Global Goals World Cup is a fun and inclusive 5v5 football tournament.
