Support the ‘Boots for Africa’ Appeal and Make a Difference. Help Boots for Africa collect and deliver thousands of cleaned up, tied up and paired up pairs of used football boots to the children of Africa, in association with founding partner McDonald's and Sheffield F.C, officially recognised as the world's first football club.
Football helps to build communities, develop social understanding and improve the lives of millions of people around the planet - something we should all share. The 'Boots for Africa' Appeal will help to develop the skills and fitness of aspiring disadvantaged children, and provide more children with the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful game.
| "The Boots for Africa campaign is a fantastic initiative and one we applaud at FIFA as it continues our aims of ensuring football is made available to all and helping to build a better future." Sepp Blatter, President of FIFA: | | "I fully support the Boots for Africa Appeal and I wish them great success in what is a very worthy cause. Providing boots to the children of Africa will not only inspire the next generation of football heroes, but ensure that everyone is given the opportunity to take part in sport. The 2010 World Cup will be staged in South Africa for the first ever time and football will be used by the country to help build a better life for local communities." Richard Caborn, 2018 World Cup Ambassador: | | "The Boots for Africa appeal is a fantastic initiative and McDonald's is delighted to be teaming up with Sheffield FC to add real value to what is a great cause." Steve Easterbrook, President and CEO of McDonalds UK. |  | "Football has taken a lot out of Africa with many great players moving out of the continent to play in the world's top leagues. Our Appeal provides a fantastic opportunity for the game to give something back and help improve the lives of many less fortunate children." Richard Tims, Chairman Sheffield FC: |
