As it is already known, Olympiacos has offered the team jersey for promoting UNICEF in order to raise 2 million euro within the next two months for 50,000 children in Greece and the rest of the world, and remains by the side of the organization in all its ventures. Olympiacos family manifests constantly its sensitivity for issues that go beyond the four lines of the pitch, thus attending this year’s UNICEF-led TV Marathon.
Our players, Tassos Papazoglou, Miguel Torres and Marco Sepovic, attended the event which runs for 25 years and aims at fundraising in order to fight children poverty and malnutrition.
Our club offered 3 signed jerseys and 3 balls for auction, and our our players commented on the significance of this effort.
Initially, Tassos Papazoglou said: “This partnership represents a very innovative action on behalf of Olympiacos. We would like to say the whole world to do whatever they can to help the children of the world. It is very important that everyone gives what they can so that everything turns out fine, because everybody needs us”.
Marco Sepovic communicated his own message:“I want to say that I am very proud of being part of this effort. I really want that everyone would help the children of the world in need, because when they are happy, we are happy too”.
Last, Miguel Torres spoke of our players attending the TV Marathon, despite the difficult that follows in a few hours: “I believe that UNICEF performs here a much more serious and significant task than the one of football players and football in general, so I should nothing but attend this event. Olympiacos family always underpins such initiatives and supports such ventures. By means of our brief staying here, I believe we offer enough assistance to the work we want to happen today; That is, to help children in need, those who are deprived of adequate food and basic amenities, because we were lucky enough to have been raised properly and enjoy football. However, we want to help those children who need our support”.
