Celebrating the Inaugural World Football Day with a Special Photo Gallery
In honor of the first-ever World Football Day, I've curated a photo gallery featuring 32 images that capture the essence and joy of football from various moments and places.
What is World Football Day?
World Football Day, celebrated on May 25, was officially proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2024. This day commemorates the 100th anniversary of the first international football tournament held in Paris during the 1924 Summer Olympic Games. The day aims to recognize football's role in promoting peace, social inclusion, and gender equality, highlighting its powerful impact across the globe.
