This has been a great week for The Ball. The big news is that we’ve signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Special Olympics. Special Olympics are going to be organising Unified Football festivals for The Ball to visit as it makes its way to South Africa. The Ball, in turn, will be supporting the great work that Special Olympics is doing “to use football as a tool to unite individuals, with and without intellectual disabilities, in the spirit of the game, creating communities of tolerance and inclusion across the world.” This is what we think The Ball stands for too and we’re really looking forward to working together.

Pass the ball on! Until the start of the 2010 World Cup, all footballs donated via Alive & Kicking's website go to Special Olympics programmes in sub-Saharan Africa.
