At Palms Solutions, we believe that the universal language of soccer remains among the best Cultural diplomacy tools to cross racial, cultural, and social boundaries, and bring unity, and peace within our more and more diversified  communities.

Inspired by the International Day of Peace (9/21) decreed by the United Nations, Philadelphia Women Tournament For Peace, also  known as Philly Women Peace Cup (Philly WPC) brings  together in the month of September, Women from difference race, and culture to share a cultural day event centralized around Soccer, food, music, and a panel of discussion around issues that will greatly benefits from the involvement of women. For in our view, women remain powerful actors for Peace and development, and Philly WPC  a vital diplomacy tool that can be used to transcend our political, religious, social, ethnic and cultural boundaries in order to mobilize, unite and engage women in meaningful communities activities.
