After a stormy setback on November 11, when the Football Integrity Match was originally scheduled to take place as part of Sport Integrity Week 2024, the event finally unfolded today at the iconic MorumBIS Stadium. Organized in partnership with São Paulo Futebol Clube, the match brought together over 300 participants, and nearly 150 players on the field for three distinct matches.

This special event went beyond Sport, serving as a vibrant platform to champion key social causes aligned with SIGA’s core values. The teams represented critical issues such as the fight against racism, gender equity, mental health, and sustainability. Each game symbolized a commitment to tackling these challenges and using the power of Sport to promote awareness and foster change.

The energy and enthusiasm of everyone present reaffirmed the vital role Sport plays in a more inclusive society. From players to spectators, the event was a testament to the unifying power of football and its potential to inspire meaningful action.
