Children’s drawings from ten UEFA Foundation for Children
projects will feature in the design of the 2020 UEFA Super Cup match ball.
Today, UEFA begins telling the stories of the youngsters whose creativity made
this unique initiative happen on its Instagram platforms.
This season’s UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League
winners will play the annual UEFA Super Cup match in Porto on 12 August with a
special match ball featuring a series of children’s drawings integrated into
the ball’s design.
The drawings are the work of 18 children with different
backgrounds from ten European organizations who work together with
the UEFA Foundation for Children, who were selected by the chairman of the
foundation’s board, UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
Children from across the continent were encouraged to submit
drawings showing what football meant to them in a contest organized by the
foundation together with its ten partner organizations. Mr. Čeferin chose the
18 drawings from a portfolio of more than 200 contributions.
Unique moment
“I’m sure that the children will be thrilled to see their
drawings on the Super Cup match ball, and to know that stars of our game will
be scoring goals with it,” said the UEFA President.
“These young people know the work of the UEFA Foundation, and
I am proud that they want to be part of one of UEFA’s showpiece events.
“It was inspiring to see all these excellent drawings and
hear the stories of the children. I hope that the joy they feel because their
artwork is on the ball for such an important match will motivate them not only
to play football but also to follow their dreams.”
