Who We Are
Our Historical Background & Vision
Our Uniqueness
What sets WPC International apart is our powerful fusion of sport, education, peacebuilding, and cultural diplomacy transforming soccer into a global force for change.
Education at the Core
With a strong emphasis on STEM education for girls, WPC International invests in the leaders of tomorrow. By breaking barriers and expanding access to academic and professional pathways, we empower girls to envision and achieve futures without limits.
From What’s Wrong to What’s Strong
We shift the narrative from deficit to strength. By celebrating the resilience, talent, and leadership of women and girls, we foster social cohesion and create spaces where differences are not only respected but embraced as sources of collective strength.
Knowledge Exchange & Cultural Respect
WPC International serves as a global platform for cultural exchange, where heritage is honored and knowledge flows across borders. Through shared values and mutual learning, we build understanding that transcends geography, language, and tradition.
Global Ambassadors for Peace
In collaboration with diplomatic ambassadors, city officials, educators, and community leaders, WPC International cultivates a growing international movement. Every participant on and off the field emerges as a future ambassador for peace, equity, and education.
Our Path Forward
Locally
We are expanding inclusive programs that empower girls from all backgrounds through soccer, scholarships, leadership development, and STEM-focused initiatives, creating pathways to opportunity and long-term success.
Globally
Through Women’s Campaign International (WCI) and our international partners, WPC International is scaling this model worldwide building a global representation network where women and girls from every continent unite to advance peace, education, and leadership through sport.
Women Peace Cup International is more than a tournament it is a movement.
It is the future of cultural diplomacy, where every match becomes a meeting of cultures, every goal strengthens community, and every kick of the ball writes a new chapter of peace, empowerment, and possibility for women and girls around the world.
Mission:
WPC International’s mission is to empower girls and young women through sport, education, and community development leadership. Through sport and education, we create safe, inclusive spaces where young women build confidence, develop lifelong skills, and become global leaders.
Vision:
Our vision is a world where every girl, woman, regardless of background, has access to safe spaces, mentorship, and opportunities to grow into a leader both on and off the field.

What We Believe
We believe in empowering girls and women through sport to connect cultures and build a more peaceful, equitable world.
Born in Philadelphia the city of brotherly and sisterly love, WPC International stands as a powerful reminder that when girls are given opportunity, trust, and support, they do more than participate, they lead. WPC International is therefore not about winning games, it is about building futures and cultivating lasting peace.
