The United Nations refugee chief, Filippo Grandi has thanked football's global governing body FIFA for shining a spotlight on refugees at the Women's World Cup.
"Football breaks down barriers. Thank you @FIFAcom for highlighting the cause of refugees at the Women’s World Cup #FIFAWWC. We are proud of our partnership with you," read the tweet.
FIFA and UNHCR signed an accord last month aimed at bolstering their long-standing cooperation and helping strengthen communities through better access to football, education and other opportunities.
