Yet another funny parody of the incident at the World Cup. Don’t mind us.
Zidane is roped in to fund a global charity cause. Good for him, it is great to see him still around and playing a role for world peace.
MUMBAI: International humanitarian organization Right To Play, the Adi Dassler Fund and international football star Zinedine Zidane have joined forces to launch a global initiative to raise funding for Right To Play programs around the world.
In doing this, they will raise awareness of sport as a tool for addressing critical development issues, like the lack of basic education and health information and the impact of conflict.
The centerpiece of the awareness initiative is the Right To Play symbol, a red ball. Right To Play has been using the red ball to represent its organization and as a symbol for change through sport since 2002. Together with adidas, Right To Play has re-designed the ball and for the first time is launching a global initiative to create awareness of the organization and for the role of sport for development in some of the most disadvantaged areas around the world.Continue reading ‘Adi Dassler Fund ropes in Zidane for “Right To Play” global campaign’

To keep the spotlight away from the youngster, Zidane is registered as Enzo Alan Martinez by Real, but comparisons are easily made with Enzo playing as a natural No10 and captaining his current team.
Zizou named his son Enzo after Uruguayan great Enzo Francescoli.
Sometimes one decides that it is time to pursue a new career opportunity and therefore a change of the environment is inevitable. Moving house from one state to another place some 100 kilometres away can be a stressful affair, as it requires a lot of time and diligence and packing/labelling of all your belongings into boxes, ensuring that they are not broken or damaged when they reach their final destination. There is also the issue of moving huge furniture such as closets or dining tables too. So how do you resolve such issues?
Missed the birthday date by a few days (let’s just say that we had a crisis with the monitor during that time) but is it not amazing that two football stars, Patrick Viera and Zinedine Zidane share the same birthday date (23rd June)?
A belated happy birthday to the both of you!
