While on the journey, the campaign will be raising money for football charities, as well as the Out of Africa Campaign.
The project will provide valuable funds to each charity so that they may create a local legacy from Africa’s endeavors in the Brazil 2014 World Cup. The funds will support the purchase of new equipment and the development of local coaches to provide a foundation for a locally sustainable, long-term football project.
