We Are One Tournament

Join the We Are One Tournament to commemorate the 24th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide.

The We Are One tournament will unite young people across Britain playing football in memory of the over 8,000 men and boys who were killed in the Srebrenica genocide. In taking part, you will score a public victory against hatred and intolerance in the 24th anniversary year of Srebrenica.

Supported by Asmir Begovic, the FA, Kick it Out, the ESFA and Show Racism the Red Card, we invite schools and youth groups to participate by holding a football match or tournament on Friday 12th July 2019 to join thousands of others across the UK standing up to hatred and intolerance. All participating groups will receive free resources including a Remembering Srebrenica book, stickers for all participants and a short explanatory speech to be read out before kickoff. We ask that a minute’s silence is held before the match to remember the victim of hatred but beyond this broad framework individual schools can tailor the event to your requirements.

We hope your school will join this powerful opportunity for young people to come together through sport to consider the possible outcomes of racism, intolerance and division.

“We don’t just play football, we are ambassadors and we have the power to make change. Football has the power to do that. It speaks so many languages and brings people together. I think we should celebrate difference. We should celebrate the fact that we’re all very individual and that should never be something to be held against you. Srebrenica teaches us that it is really important that those issues are raised, we are aware of them and don’t ever forget them.”
Casey Stoney MBE, former captain of the England Women’s football team

The beautiful National Library in Sarajevo was destroyed in 1992 by Serb forced and with it over 700 manuscripts and incunabula as well as most of the books. It rose again in 2014 showing us all that books and knowledge are always worth protection and love.

Happy #WorldBookDay! The lovely thing about books is that they don't just take us away to different worlds but they serve as lessons to teach us even of the most painful parts of history.

We are thankful for the role that books play in allowing survivors to speak truth to power.

During the Bosnian genocide 20,000-50,000 women were victims of a systematic campaign of rape utilised to further the genocidal goal of ethnic purification. We stand with these brave women. https://t.co/YeihA3AxTA
