#ShineALight #FIFPRO
—
On the eve of the men’s World Cup in Qatar, FIFPRO is launching a series for professional footballers to talk about some of the topics that matter most to them.
World Cup-bound Sebastian Coates (Uruguay), Jackson Irvine (Australia) and Mark-Anthony Kaye (Canada) start the series by discussing their personal experiences with a view to bringing attention to important social and industrial issues.
As millions of people turn their attention to the World Cup, the series – known as #ShineALight – offers footballers the chance to relay genuine and selfless messages which aim to contribute to the wellbeing of others.
Over the coming months, and ahead of the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, more players will join the series to turn the spotlight to issues they care about.
