UN: Morocco Hosts High-Level Event on Role of Sport in Social Inclusion, Migration Governance
United Nations (New York) - Morocco organized a high-level event on “Harnessing the Power of Sport for Social Inclusion and Migration” on Friday at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
Held in partnership with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) as part of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, the meeting brought together ministers, senior representatives of UN member states, senior officials from international organizations and sports federations, as well as representatives of civil society and figures from the academic world.
The event was an opportunity to highlight the contribution of sport as a vehicle for social cohesion, combating stigma and promoting universal values of tolerance, solidarity, and respect.
This high-level meeting provided a platform to explore concrete partnerships between states, international organizations, sports institutions, and civil society actors to strengthen the impact of sport to the benefit of migrants and host societies.
As part of preparations for the International Migration Review Forum (IMRF), scheduled for 2026, this initiative has helped identify innovative means to bolster international cooperation on sport and migration governance.
