May 6 – The European Clubs Association (ECA) is supporting a new initiative to coincide with International Missing Children’s Day.
More than 50 ECA members have volunteered to use their social media channels on May 25 to share videos featuring children who are currently missing all over the world.
The ‘Football Cares’ initiative is being run by the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC) and is supported by both the ECA and FIFA.
AS Roma, who have a longstanding relationship with ICMEC, are helping to facilitate the project.
“ECA and its member clubs are proud to be teaming up with ICMEC, an organisation that has done incredible work in helping vulnerable young people across the world for over two decades, to show that ‘Football Cares’ on International Missing Children’s Day,” said ECA CEO Charlie Marshall.
“Clubs have a longstanding tradition of being vehicles for social impact in both their local communities and globally, a tradition of massive importance in today’s world. As a collective unit, ECA’s members have an unparalleled platform to reach millions worldwide to support those that are particularly vulnerable in our society.”
