Global Peace Games – Limestone United

Limestone United, in partnership with the Children’s Football Alliance, will participate in the Global Peace Games 2024 in Belgium from 16th to 21st September. This initiative brings together 10 young men from our community to engage with peers from Croatia, Scotland, and India, fostering peace through the Children’s Football Alliance Peace Fields project.

Aligned with the theme of ‘OpportUNiTY’, this cross-community project provides a unique chance for Catholic and Protestant young leaders to collaborate and promote peace. Following their involvement in the Football Makes Our Shared History project, these young leaders will gain valuable international experience and contribute to peacebuilding efforts.

Upon returning, the participants will use their experiences to advance peace initiatives within our own community, including the creation of peace pitches in Northern Ireland. Limestone United’s existing peace pitch at Seaview Football Grounds, home of Crusaders Football Club, will serve as a foundation for this ongoing work.

Join us in celebrating how global engagement and shared experiences can create meaningful opportunities for peace and unity within our community.
