About Our Society

Our Vision:

An inclusive world free of all types of discrimination.

Our Mission:

At One Team, we believe that soccer has an incredible power, which can be used to make this world a better place. Use this powerful platform to promote peace, equality, health, and education for everyone. Make the game better, take it to the world, and you will be fostering a better world.

We achieve this by:

  • Organizing an annual international soccer tournament that unites local teams from different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds with international teams affected by war, poverty, and gender inequality to compete in an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent their country.
  • Supporting (through partnerships) grassroots soccer programs in nations and communities affected by war, poverty, and gender inequality.

Our Values:

  • Inclusion
  • Equality
  • Respect

Our Story:

One Team is a registered not-for-profit Canadian Society based in Vancouver, Canada. One Team was created to develop and support grassroots soccer programs in communities impacted by war, poverty, and gender inequality. Our mission is to promote global peace and social change through soccer. One Team was founded by social entrepreneur and award-winning humanitarian Adri Hamael. Adri has devoted his adult life to social change and global peace, and has a long history of creating projects and organizations focused on improving people's lives.
