Five Barça players feature in the new awareness campaign started up by the FC Barcelona Foundation and UNICEF and whose launch coincides with World AIDS Day.
The aim of the new solidarity campaign started up by the FC Barcelona Foundation and UNICEF is to
report on the position of children with AIDS in Swaziland, Malawi and Angola.
It is an awareness campaign which sets out the impact of HIV/AIDS on children together with
the work that the Foundation is doing in the three African countries to combat the disease.
Spots in five languages
To give the campaign worldwide impact, five Barça first team players have added their
voices and images in five different languages. The Catalan version features Xavi Hernández; in
Spanish there is Leo Messi; in English, Thierry Henry; in French, Samuel Eto’o; and in
Portuguese, Sylvinho.
Premiere on Barça TV
The campaign will be premiered in Catalonia this Monday at 1.30 pm in the ‘Zona
Mixta’ programme on Barça TV. The FC Barcelona TV station has also produced the three
advertisements in their different versions.
