It’s exciting news to hear that Lionel Messi is expected to visit Dakar next month as part of the launch of a program to fight against malaria. The initiative, backed by Messi’s image, aims to make a positive impact in the fight against malaria, particularly focusing on encouraging children.
Lamine Savané, the director of Aspire Football Academy, a Qatari Foundation, shared insights into the project, mentioning that Messi’s involvement was facilitated by his long-standing ties with Josep Golomer, the former sporting director who signed Messi for Barcelona. Messi has reportedly expressed his willingness to participate if his schedule allows, and his presence is anticipated to provide encouragement to the children involved in the project.
Although Messi sustained an injury on Sunday, there is optimism that he will be able to arrange his calendar to attend the launch of the malaria-fighting program in Dakar. Such initiatives, supported by global football icons, play a significant role in raising awareness and mobilizing resources for important social causes.
