To end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. A world with zero hunger can positively impact our economies, health, education, equality and social development. It’s a key piece of building a better future for everyone. Additionally, with hunger limiting human development, we will not be able to achieve the other sustainable development goals such as education, health and gender equality.

Extreme hunger and malnutrition remains a barrier to sustainable development and creates a trap from which people cannot easily escape. Hunger and malnutrition mean less productive individuals, who are more prone to disease and thus often unable to earn more and improve their livelihoods. There are nearly 800 million people who suffer from hunger worldwide, the vast majority in developing countries.

• The goal represents a hungry mouth – the balls represents food.
• A number of soccer balls are lined up in front of a goal.
• Players line up and are ready to do penalty kicks.

• If you were hungry you could not do this drill, you need food and water to take all these runs and kicks
• Players dribble across the field and tries to score on a goal keeper.
• When players score – they kick hunger away and can keep going, if they do not score they change place with the goalkeeper and the keeper takes over the dribble.

There are so many great ways to create a game. Allow the players to be quite creative with this by introducing the goal at the beginning of the match and asking them how this could be included:  Do one team have a big goal and the other a small. Do everybody play with a glas of water or change a rule every minute. 

A simple way to bring in the Global Goals when playing a match, is that every time a team scores or make a save, or during a water break they can double their points or get a point by stating a Global Goal and what they could do to help promote this in their community. Easiest to play small side games with 3-6 players, so they can hear each other.

You can always have several games going at the same time. There are some rule ideas under Goal 17.

If you have time, give the players a chance to talk solutions, and how they them selve can do something in their every day.

• Discuss how you can help reach zero hunger in your community / in the world.
• Discuss droughts, sustainable food solutions, food sharing etc.
• Discuss how every individual have the power to channel positive energies and that change is possible.
• Discuss how the players can drive the change the want.
• What other Global Goals is supported when reaching this goal?

When you and your players create your own drills for the global goals, please share it. Every game counts.

Describe your game in a drawing and add a few words and send it to us.

As a thank you we will share your Impact Game under the relevant Goal here on the website and of course crediting you and your team!
