The Peace League: a football competition to promote peace and education in the DRC
An unprecedented football competition, called the “Peace League”, is set to bring together more than 40 schools in Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Initiated by the events company “BALEZI GROUP”, founded by the young Congolese entrepreneur Balezi Hope, this ambitious project aims to offer young people a platform to participate in a football tournament while offering them opportunities for education and personal development .
The Peace League is the result of a collaboration between the BALEZI GROUP and other committed young entrepreneurs. The tournament is not just limited to football, it also aims to support students towards a promising future by providing them with scholarships thanks to the Gally Garvey Foundation. With this initiative, the aim is to go beyond traditional monetary rewards and invest in the education of young people.
To ensure the smooth running of the competition, different entities of the Balezi group are involved. A company specializing in online ticketing will facilitate access to events by allowing the purchase of tickets online. This will help avoid delays and ensure a smooth experience for viewers. In addition, the agri-food company BALEZI GROUP will take advantage of this opportunity to promote its yogurt brand “Lait yummit”, based on natural fruits on the Congolese market.
The Peace League matches will take place in the municipal stadiums of Kinshasa as well as in the new infrastructures built during the Francophonie. To allow parents and spectators to follow the performances of young players, the matches will be broadcast live on a streaming platform called “B-LIVE”.
The Peace League is much more than just a football tournament. It is an initiative which aims to offer young Congolese educational and personal development opportunities. By bringing together more than 40 schools, this project contributes to promoting Congolese talent and supporting youth in their quest for excellence. By offering scholarships, it opens the way to a better future for these young people, while promoting the values of peace and education.
The Peace League marks the start of a series of major events organized by the BALEZI GROUP throughout the year. This innovative football competition is an inspiring example of the commitment of Congolese entrepreneurs to the development of youth and the promotion of peace and education in the DRC.
