Football has shown me the power of teamwork, leadership and bringing people together around a common goal.
That's why I'm proud to be part of the #ZeroMalariaFC Dream Team as Co-Captain and to support the fight against malaria.

At #SpeakUpAfricaInAction ahead of #AFCON final, we discussed polio & malaria eradication through the lens of football ⚽
Just as @LuisFigo reminded us: if one part of the field is left unprotected, the whole team is at risk.
No One Left Behind is not a slogan, it’s how you win.
The power of football goes beyond the pitch.
Together with @SpeakUpAfrica1, I’m backing a team effort to help #endmalaria, an entirely preventable and treatable disease.
As the #AFCON2025 final kicks off, let’s use the power of football for something bigger.
Because every child, everywhere, deserves a healthy future.
This is teamwork at its best.

‘Sport has the power to change the world’
On this day 25 years ago, Nelson Mandela - Laureus' first patron - shared this inspirational speech at the inaugural Laureus World Sports Awards.
As we celebrate this historic day, these words remain as powerful and relevant as ever. They have become the philosophy of Laureus and the driving force behind our work.
