Good to know that Zizou is doing some charity work.
In conjunction with the mini ball initiative, the Adi Dassler Fund will provide over 100,000 full size red balls for use in the more than 20 countries where Right To Play has programs. The red ball embodies Right to Play’s values — the best values of sport including cooperation, respect, inclusion, integrity and fair play. Written on the red ball are the words “Look after yourself, look after one another.” This is the philosophy that guides Right to Play’s work. Through its programs, the organization strives to empower individuals to look after themselves and look after their communities.
Additionally, legendary soccer phenom, Zinedine Zidane, who retired from international competition last year, is now devoting much of his time to working with children and will partner with the Adi Dassler Fund to be a key driver of the Right To Play initiative. Over the course of the year, Zidane will travel to one of the countries participating in Right To Play programs and lending his voice to the movement.
“I know firsthand the positive impact sport can have on your life and the skills and values sport can teach like leadership, team work, confidence and perseverance,” explained Zidane. “Together with Right To Play and the Adi Dassler Fund, I hope to have the opportunity to share my love of sports with children around the world and to help them grow and learn through the power of sport and play.”
