Cup of Human Rights, 17.9.22

Date: Saturday, 17 September 2022 (11:30-18:00)
Location: STAW Square, Rustenschacherallee 3-5 (Prater), 1020 Vienna

Before the controversial FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar we organise an alternative World Cup. At the "Cup of Human Rights", cricket and mamanet cachibol will be played alongside football. And it will be played by groups and individuals who are among those affected by the World Cup in Qatar. Instead of exploitation and human rights violations, the focus is on global justice, anti-discrimination and sustainability. 

The day will be accompanied by a DJ and a supporting programme for active participants and visitors (including childcare).
