    Nine million campaign

    Football has given me so much, which is why I am so happy to be supporting the Nine Million Campaign to use football to help refugee children throughout the world. There are 20 million refugees, of which nine million are children, and the campaign aims to help them by raising money and awareness. The project aims to provide education and opportunities for children. A third of the money raised will be used to hand out nine million specially-developed hard-wearing footballs - one for every child in refugee camps all over the world - in an attempt to bring some joy to their lives. The chance to play and have fun might seem basic but it is denied to too many kids.
