Special Olympics is thrilled to showcase the Unified Football 7-a-side event in India, held in partnership with H&M Move India. This event brought together Special Olympics Bharat athletes and H&M Move India employees to emphasize the importance of physical activity for youth of all abilities. Both teams shared perspectives on inclusion, opportunities for engagement, and the need for inclusive development through sports and physical activity for all. This collaboration in the Asia Pacific region supports the Special Olympics Global Coalition for Inclusion, a multilateral platform funded by a grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) and is dedicated to expanding inclusive programs for individuals with and without intellectual disabilities in schools, sports clubs, and community centers worldwide. In addition to the event, H&M Move is supporting SO Bharat across the next two years to create Unified Schools that focus on promoting social inclusion through shared sports and competition experiences, bolster engagement with students both with and without intellectual disabilities and facilitate government collaboration.
