In Cumaribo, Vichada, a football match for peace and reconciliation


For the first time in Cumaribo, the largest town in Colombia, young people from seven Departments played football together to foster peace and reconciliation. Participants included former combatants, victims of the conflict, and representatives of indigenous communities. The Minister of Sport, Maria Isabel Urrutia (who is also an Olympic gold medalist) inaugurated the event. The United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia led the closing ceremony.
