Introducing a special collection of footballs, created from the inspiring designs of the UNHCR Youth with Refugees Art Contest and selected by our colleagues through a Viva Engage vote. Each football is presented in an appealing cardboard box featuring UNHCR’s global campaign message and the tagline “Football is more than a game,” making it ideal for office and event display, as well as gifting.
These footballs are more than just sports equipment – they are a celebration of hope, belonging, and solidarity. Sport has a unique power to bring people together, to cross borders, and to create moments of joy and unity, no matter where you are from. Whether used on the pitch or displayed with pride, these footballs carry a message that connects us all.
This limited edition features a design by Thuria, 19, Sri Lanka – refugee from Sudan.
“This is my entry for the #DreamBall design contest. It was somewhat inspired by the UNHCR logo – one could say that the hands are holding refugees gently, and the heart highlights the fact that refugees are people with feelings and hopes.”
