The FIFA Womens World Cup is kicking off this week and the event is inspiring many girls into football.
But before the opening ceremony on Thursday, there's another very special football game that will be played.
A team of girls, many of whom are former refugees, have travelled over from the US to face off against a mixed team of girls with refugee backgrounds here in New Zealand.
The two teams, of both refugee and non-refugee players, will be facing off at the Waitemata Football club at 4:30pm this afternoon.
Bella Munroe is from the refugee support centre Umma Trust and has been involved with making this happen. She talks to Jesse.
