On 25 September 2018, the SDG Advocates partnered with Global Goals World Cup to host a soccer tournament for the SDGs in New York. SDG Advocates Prime Minister Solberg and Dr. Alaa Murabit joined teams on the field to compete for the trophy. Teams had a chance to win the trophy by getting points in 4 ways: most goals scored, most supporting crowd, most original team style, and best action for the Global Goals. Refereed by celebrity UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, commentated by UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Crown Prince Haakon, the tournament promoted gender equality and engagement in the SDGs through sports.
