The second football tournament among refugees ''The Games of Peace'' organised with the support of UEFA took place in Almaty.

The initiative was also supported by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Kazakhstan and the Red Crescent Society of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

"The Games of Peace'' is not just a sporting event, but a powerful symbol of unity, solidarity and integration. The tournament united participants from different countries and cultures who were far from their homeland, but found support and a new community in Kazakhstan.

The Kazakhstan Football Federation continues to consistently support initiatives aimed at social adaptation and integration of vulnerable groups through sport. Football has become a way for many participants to express themselves, build self-confidence and forge new social ties.

Such events emphasise the role of football as a universal tool for peace, understanding and cooperation. "The Games of Peace'' tournament in Almaty is another one step forwards.
