Thank you, Sepp, for those very kind words. Your leadership has made football a force to be reckoned with both on and off the pitch. Your compassion and commitment to others inspires us all, and it makes me proud to be working with you for 1GOAL.

And thank you to the Global Campaign for Education, without which 1GOAL wouldn’t be possible.
