PLAY FOR GOAL 2
NO HUNGER

What’s the goal?

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.

Why does it matter?

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.

FEED THE GOAL

by Becca Todd, United Kingdom

Description of the game

  • 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.

Football tips for strikers

  • For shooting technique, use the inside of the foot for accuracy (it has a larger surface area than other parts of the foot) or, to generate more power- shoot with the "laces" (the front) of your foot.
  • Spread your arms out to balance.
  • Follow through after striking the ball in the direction of your shot to get more power and accuracy.

Football Tips for goalkeepers

  • Stand on the balls of your feet with bent knees so that you can react quickly.
  • Hands out wide to fill the goal and intimidate the strikers!
  • Watch the ball carefully, you can also look at the body position of the striker to help you to judge which way they will shoot.

Kick Hunger Away

by Steven O’Reilly, Chelsea FC Foundation, Bangkok

Description of the game

  • 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.

Create Game situation

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.
