Caspea Foundation for Peace and Sport – We congratulate the Under 17 Selection of Switzerland for winning the FIFA U-17 World Cup title.
The unexpected became reality. In Abuja, Nigeria the young Swiss team won the U17 world cup title. Besides proofing technical skills the football crew has shown team spirit, the ability of good organisation and the spirit of solidarity. The extraordinary performance by such a multicultural team was possible thanks to the focused team leadership. CASPEA supports similar values in its current project for Palestinian refugees and poor students in Jordan through providing sport equipment and training for trainers in the fields of capacity building and conflict resolution.

We are mourning the loss of our friend Sultan Munadi, CASPEA Alumni 2006 and Journalist for the New York Times in Afghanistan.
He lost his life during a NATO operation near Kunduz. Sultan and his British colleague were held hostage by Taliban. It is said that Sultan died during the military attempt to be freed.
We deeply deplore this loss and bloodsheed in the course of the ongoing violence in Afghanistan.
Sultan’s unfaltering committment to the peaceful future of his country, his optimistic spirit, and his courage will stay with us.

CASPEA attended FIFA Football for Hope Forum
1 July, 2009
We were delighted to accept the kind invitation to attend the Football for Hope Forum in Vaal, S. Africa with FIFA and StreetFootballWorld. It was a great opportunity to enhance our program by continuing to learn from experts in the field of Sport for Development. Our programme input on Football and Peace Building attracted many delegates’ attention. We were confronted with an overwhelming demand for capacity building, coaching and leadership development for Football projects in developing and post war countries.
Anita Schmidt (CASPEA) and Mustapha Albert (Amputee Soccer, Sierra Leone); Speakers of workshop: "Football and Peace Building"
In the framework of the FfH Forum, Caspea had the chance to visit one of PlaySoccer South Africa’s sites in Finetown, Johannesburg. Here, the children of the township, aged 2 to 17, attend regular sport and free time activities held by volounteers and peer leaders.
