Why this campaign?

1.02 billion people in the world are victims of hunger

During the last three years, due to the soaring food and energy prices, the number of hungry people has increased by 75 million
Although:

We are the first generation to have the means to eliminate hunger in the world but this will require the firm commitment of all sectors of society

The power of football can mobilize the willingness, the decisions and the resources needed to eradicate hunger

This is why the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the European Professional Football Leagues are joining forces to battle hunger and starvation.

We need your help now more than ever

Join European Football united in the fight against hunger.
