Goal4Africa to help create a legacy for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ July 16, 2008

Inspired by both the legacy of Nelson Mandela - who celebrates his 90th birthday shortly – and in particular the upcoming 2010 FIFA World Cup™, a new global initiative aimed at bringing together education and football has kicked off.
The Goal4Africa Foundation was founded by AC Milan and Holland star Clarence Seedorf with the aim of raising funds for educational and development programmes in Africa, while at the same time promoting the development of soccer on the continent.
According to the foundation, the objective is to create a legacy for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ by raising funds for both football development and educational programmes in order to contribute to an African Legacy Programme that will promote peace and nation-building, help alleviate poverty, and support economic development and opportunities. The funds raised will also be used to establish and boost development programmes for children.
The latest Goal4Africa campaign, which will lead up to the 2009 Confederations Cup and the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, was launched with a charity football match hosted at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany this past Saturday (July 12).
The match featured a number of the globe’s top players, including Seedorf, Michael Ballack, Didier Drogba, Kaká, Frank Lampard, Robin van Persie, Gianluigi Buffon, Emmanuel Adebayor, Stephen Gerrard, Samuel Eto’o, and Michael Essien and in their presence, Nelson Mandela’s grandson, Sizwe Mandela, scored the first goal.
This is just the first of many goals that will help raise funds for the project, as more businesses and private individuals are now encouraged to come on board and help raise funds by donating a specified amount of money for every goal scored by their chosen team or favourite player.
The organisation’s Web site (www.goal4africa.org) also points out those digital goals will be scored through an interactive goal kicking game on the World Wide Web, as well as through a similar game available on mobile phones and another through consoles
How this will work is that a fan playing the interactive game can choose to donate an amount of money for every goal scored during the game they are playing.
In keeping with the World Cup’s concept of sporting brotherhood, Goal4Africa claims to support FIFA’s ‘Win in Africa with Africa’ initiative, the 2010 Local Organising Committee’s African Legacy Programme, as well as the African Union’s mission to eradicate poverty in Africa.
Or as Seedorf points out: “The Goal4Africa Foundation is committed to leaving an enduring positive legacy on the whole of the African continent”.
