The United Nations General Assembly, through Resolution A/RES/78/281 in 2024, officially declared May 25 as World Football Day to be observed annually. This date holds historical significance as it marks the opening of the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, which was the first Olympic football tournament organized by FIFA. The observance is meant to celebrate the unifying power of football across cultures and nations. FIFA also aligns this day with World Football Week, running from May 21 to 25, and adopts themes like "Together, We Are Stronger" to emphasize the sport's role in promoting inclusion and global unity.
