Mission

PFMP is an international non-profit project dedicated to fulfilling the potential of soccer to be a global influence for peace and development. PFMP develops models of peace building by holding soccer tournaments around the world. These tournaments introduce principles and codes of conduct designed to improve both the quality of the game and the quality of life in every nation and between all nations.

Vision

PFMP envisions a series of local, national and regional soccer tournaments eventually leading to worldwide youth tournaments. PFMP is currently participating in plans for a Youth Peace Cup to be held every two years. These tournaments will be notable for the quality of the soccer but, equally importantly, for the quality of the sportsmanship, cooperation, communication and friendship that they generate.

Principles

  • Play Fair
  • Maintain Position
  • Develop Excellence
  • Build Teamwork
  • Create Excitement
