Sport brings people together, creates values, the power to inspire, the power to unite people and strengthens a feeling of community and team in a way little else can.” spirit. This is why the German Federal Government is committed to promoting sport for development. Nelson Mandela Experience and success in this area clearly demonstrate that many development goals can be implemented quickly and successfully. Sport can educate people and promote development; it can prevent HIV/AIDS and help curb violence, and in general has a positive impact on the physical and emotional health of children and young people.

In view of this, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development is integrating the “Sport for ­Development” approach into worldwide development cooperation. Major events are also an ideal platform for utilising the potential of sport for sustainable development and presenting it to the public. The World Cup in Brazil is bringing the social dimension of and discussions about major events to the forefront. Along with the enthusiasm for sport, these discussions concern the sustainability of the games. Therefore, it is particularly important for German development cooperation actors to work together with the German Football Association in making joint sport projects more visible during the FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil. Based on the German development cooperation projects in “Sport for Development” in Brazil, daily sports camps are being held in close collaboration with local partners. At these, and within the framework of the “Festival da Bola”, children and young people acquire lifeskills through football training – skills which help people to cope with difficult situations and to map out a future for themselves.

We look forward to your visit to “Festival da Bola” and welcome your interest in our projects in Brazil – and we very much hope you enjoy this booklet.
