It's because of war.
It's because of violence.
It's because of persecution.
Itโs a heartbreaking decision that 41.6 million people have made to flee across borders to find safety.

I sat down with Ali Hamadiโfellow Iraqi, fellow refugeeโnow set to represent Iraq at its first World Cup in 40 years.
When he fled as a child, this moment would have felt unimaginable.
Life can take us farther than we ever expectโand sometimes brings our stories full circle.
