Yesterday afternoon, key members of the Unity Cup joined for a photo opportunity as part of Special Olympics Global Congress that’s being held in Marrakech to celebrate this roster of celebrities and global football legends.
Those members included executives Timothy P Shriver (Special Olympics chairman & CEO) and Muhtar Kent (chairman and CEO, The Coca-Cola Company and SpeciaI Olympics International board member), as well as Unity Cup participants Ben Haack (Special Olympics Australia athlete) and Clarence Seedorf (footballer for AC Milan).
“We hope that worldwide fans of football who have tickets to the quarter final in Cape Town will head to the stadium early that Saturday to watch these celebrities and our athletes take to the field,” said Shriver. “Thanks to our global partner, Coca-Cola, we can turn the people’s attention to football not only as a sport, but as a powerful agent of change that can unite people with and without intellectual disabilities.”
