Girls in Brazil play football as part of a UNICEF-supported programme to help them overcome social barriers.

Sport and play are important to UNICEF because they are vital elements in the health, happiness and well-being of children and young people. UNICEF works with governments and partners throughout the world to use sport-based programmes to improve children’s lives and to strengthen communities. UNICEF teams up with leading sports organizations and world-renowned athletes to bring attention to challenges facing children and to mobilize resources to address them.
