particularly prestigious event. This gave the opportunity to 24 players from 5
different continents to be part of one unique ideal team, called “The United
World Team”, also known as “The Team for Peace” for 7 days. This team
was made up of players from countries at war, living in a tense political and
diplomatic environment. The players came from China and Taiwan, South and
North Korea, India and Pakistan, Iraq and Kuwait, Iran, Israel, Palestine and
Lebanon, the United States of America and Vietnam and Afghanistan, Morocco
and Algeria; Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo and Serbia; Turkey and Cyprus with the
cohesive participation of Italy as the host country and one player from Australia
to give the whole experience a universal meaning.
This unprecedented event highlighted the importance of overcoming all conflicts
as well as their physical and non-physical borders which divide peoples and
cultures. .
