The  World Cup in 2048 in Israel, Palestine and the Greater Middle East 

Vision Statement:

As we look forward to the year 2048, we envision the World Soccer Cup not merely as a global sports event, but as a groundbreaking step in a long, concerted journey towards peace between Israel and Palestine. This World Cup is more than a tournament; it is a shared mission, a collaborative process aimed at healing, understanding, and coexistence in a region that has been marked by decades of conflict.

​

Our vision for the 2048 World Soccer Cup is to create a platform that transcends the beautiful game, becoming a catalyst for dialogue, reconciliation, and mutual respect between Israelis and Palestinians. We see this event as an opportunity to rewrite narratives, to replace the language of division with the language of unity, and to transform a history of discord into a future of harmony.

​

Goals Beyond the Field:

• Cultural Exchange and Understanding:

  • Foster a series of cultural and sports exchanges between Israeli and Palestinian communities in the lead-up to the World Cup, promoting mutual understanding and breaking down stereotypes.

• Joint Initiatives for Peace:

  • Implement joint Israeli-Palestinian community projects focused on education, art, and infrastructure, creating tangible outcomes from this collaboration.

• Shared Spaces for Dialogue:

  • Establish forums for open dialogue, where voices from both sides can express their narratives, share their aspirations, and work towards common goals.

• Youth Engagement and Empowerment:

  • Focus on the youth, encouraging their involvement in peace-building activities, sports programs, and educational exchanges to foster a new generation that champions coexistence.

• Economic Collaboration:

  • Promote economic cooperation and development projects that benefit both communities, emphasizing the shared economic gains from a peaceful coexistence.

Commitment to Peace:

We commit to using the 2048 World Soccer Cup as a continuous process of engagement, negotiation, and building trust. This event will not just symbolize a temporary truce, but will be a part of an ongoing journey towards lasting peace. The stadiums we build will stand as monuments to our shared commitment, each match played a testament to what we can achieve together.

Legacy Beyond 2048:

Our vision extends beyond the closing ceremony of the World Cup. We aspire to leave a legacy that is measured not just in goals scored, but in barriers broken and bridges built. The 2048 World Soccer Cup will stand as a milestone in our shared history, a point where we chose to set aside differences and unite for a common goal.

A Call to Action:

We invite Israelis, Palestinians, and the global community to join us in this ambitious yet vital endeavor. Together, let's harness the power of soccer to inspire a new era for Israel and Palestine, an era marked by peace, partnership, and prosperity.

Together, for a goal that transcends the game. Together, for the future of Israel and Palestine. Together, for the World Soccer Cup of 2048.
