The fields will host the Copa Infantil Unidos pela Paz, a football tournament featuring 14 Palestinian teams and up to 160 children. This initiative aims to provide a safe space for children to play football, socialise with friends, and engage in organised sports. The tournament is set to take place this month, with the fields serving as a vital hub for local children to enjoy football and develop their skills. According to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, the value of the FIFA Arena installations will be measured by the daily activities on the fields.
