At Victory Beyond the Cup, we believe sport has the power to unite cultures, transform lives, defy conventions, and make an impact beyond the pitch. That’s why we’re excited to partner with International Justice Mission (IJM) this summer during the World Cup to shine a light on an urgent, solvable global issue: modern slavery.
International Justice Mission is the largest global nonprofit focused on protecting people in poverty from human trafficking, slavery and violence. Working in 33 countries, IJM partners with local authorities to rescue victims, bring criminals to justice, restore survivors, and build lasting protection for vulnerable communities.
Right now, over 50 million people are trapped in modern slavery. 1 in 4 is a child. Violence has robbed every one of them of even the most basic joys and freedoms experienced through sport – like the opportunity to dream, to grow, to thrive and to play. But God sees them, loves them, and is moving to restore their freedom. And as Christians, we have the privilege of joining Him in that work.
International Justice Mission is partnering with 2x World Cup Winner Julie Ertz, members of the USMNT, and chaplains across the leagues to help restore that freedom for victims of modern slavery. Freedom to Play is a movement to raise awareness by connecting a global moment to a deeper purpose: restoring safety and dignity for the world’s most vulnerable people.
Because when children are safe, they are free to play.
As the world celebrates the game we love, you can join God’s work to help restore the freedom that everyone deserves. Visit the Freedom to Play website where you can:

Because everyone deserves the freedom to play.
With gratitude, The Victory Beyond the Cup Team
