UNICEF: Barcelona Uganda Match
Amongst the TV cameras and photographers, 16 boys from Uganda shivered in the cold and rain but waited patiently. When the moment arrived, they walked out onto the pitch in Camp Nou - the stadium of Football Club Barcelona - and the crowd roared in appreciation. The boys appeared calm but deep inside, they said later, they could not believe what was happening to them. "I saw Ronaldinho with my naked eyes!" enthused one boy, Ali Abujeri. The teenagers belong to The Kids League (TKL), a non-governmental organization supported by UNICEF in Uganda. Keen to demonstrate the importance of UNICEF's sports for development programmes, FC Barcelona invited the TKL members to spend the day at the club and play a game against one of Barcelona's junior teams earlier that week.
