Peace and Sport
organization based in Monaco
Peace and Sport (also known as "L’Organisation pour la Paix par le Sport") is a sports organization based in Monaco under the patronage of Prince Albert II of Monaco.
Ivorian footballer Didier Drogba became the organization's Vice President after retiring from professional football in late 2018.
Argentine footballer Lionel Messi is a recipient of Peace and Sport's Champions for Peace Award.
Field actions
Since its creation in 2007, Peace and Sport has developed 12 field programs in 13 countries. The organization works with local project leaders (governments, NGOs, National Olympic Committees, and sports federations) in areas affected by extreme poverty, the consequences of conflicts, and an absence of social cohesion. These partnerships aim to develop programs that use sport to address social issues within communities.
As of 2018, Peace and Sport actively runs four programs in three locations: the African Great Lakes region, Za'atari Refugee Camp in Jordan and France. These programs include:
The "Friendship Games," an annual multi-sport event with peace-building activities that gathers youth from Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Burundi.
The "Live Together" program in the Za’atari refugee camp in Jordan, aims to create social cohesion through sport among refugees of different ages and genders.
The "Sports Workshops" program uses sports to foster social and professional integration in vulnerable communities.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Peace and Sport”, the useful work is to connect “organization based in Monaco” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 11, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3373808. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2018 and 2007.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
