Socceroos Team With UNICEF
THE Socceroos will appear in a new TV advertisement for UNICEF as part of the Together Well Level The Playing Field campaign.
To see the Socceroos in Queensland today...
Lucas Neill, Tim Cahill, Mark Schwarzer and Mark Bresciano appear in the commercial which is part of the FFAs landmark strategic partnership with UNICEF announced today.
Cahill and Harry Kewell also spoke via video link at todays launch where they lent their support to the initiative.
This community strategic partnership is not a financial commitment by the FFA, rather, the national body is expected to be involved in UNICEF projects in South East Asia as well as in Indigenous communities in Australia.
John Stewart, UNICEFs deputy chair in Australia, told au.fourfourtwo.com that only football in Australia offers the synergies with a worldwide organisation like UNICEF.
Its the number of people who play football, the type of people and its the reach. We dont want money from the FFA, we want opportunities and the reach they can give us.
Stewart was unequivocal thatr UNICEF was more of a fit with football over Australias other more established codes.
Weve got to match the values as well," he said. "We think football in Australia, and the people who play football in Australia, can help us in this way.
To help support the FFAs work with UNICEF, the public can call 1300 884 233 or visit either www.footballaustralia.com.au or www.unicef.org.au.
