Children need to be healthy, safe, and nourished so they can play, learn, and get the best start in life. But millions of children around the world are having their childhoods threatened by circumstances outside of their control.

Money raised through Soccer Aid for UNICEF helps vaccinate children against preventable diseases and provides vital nutrition and clean water to help them grow up strong. It helps ensure they have safe places to play and learn, so they are ready to take on the world. And it does so much more to protect the right to play for children everywhere.

By joining the Soccer Aid for UNICEF Academy, schools are joining one big team - united by a goal to help protect play for children so they can grow up happy, healthy, and ready to take on the world.
