Sport as a tool for social change has the power to unite and to transform the life of the players and also bring change in the community through hosting of event using sport as a tool to attract large number of people to come to the event since their love of the sport. Communities are faced by serious issues that are of concern to the community and the municipalities and local NGO’S are doing what they can to remedy the situation, I came to a conclusion that sport has the power to act on this in a sense that since I saw that people in the community love soccer, it can be used  to raise awareness about issues that are of serious concern to the community because people will always remember the message that was said during the event because they used soccer as a tool to transport the message because people are tired of going to the halls and seat for a long period and listening to people speak but this way they will be entertained at the same time listening to the message that has been said by the speakers that have been invited to the event.

as Wilfried Lemke, special adviser to the Secretary- General on Sport for Development and Peace said this i quote 

“Sport has a crucial role to play in the effort  to improve the lives of people around the world. Sport builds bridges between individuals and across communities, providing a fertile ground for sowing the seeds of development and peace.”
