Tajikistan has showcased at the United Nations a series of initiatives aimed at promoting young people's mental health through football and digital technologies. The projects were highlighted as successful examples of combining sport, modern communication tools, and social support for youth.
The high-level event, "One World, One Game, One Goal," was organized by the Permanent Mission of Tajikistan to the United Nations together with the UN Youth Office. Participants discussed how sport and digital platforms can contribute to mental well-being, social inclusion, and the creation of a more inclusive environment for young people.
The meeting brought together Khurshed Mirzo, First Vice President of the Football Federation of Tajikistan, FIFA President Gianni Infantino, and Felipe Paullier, the UN Assistant Secretary-General for Youth Affairs. Speakers emphasized that football serves as a powerful tool for bringing people together, promoting healthy lifestyles, and supporting young people's mental well-being, while digital technologies help expand the reach of such initiatives.
Special attention was given to the international initiative proposed by Football Federation of Tajikistan President and CAFA head Rustam Emomali to proclaim 25 May as World Football Day, which was previously adopted unanimously by the UN General Assembly. Participants were also introduced to the "Pass the Ball" campaign, implemented jointly by the Football Federation of Tajikistan and UNICEF, which was recognized as a successful example of promoting youth mental health through sport and digital platforms.
