Recently, the Suba Lakers received a donation of 5 One World
Futballs. These are unique balls are
described as nearly indestructible. In
Africa, even the best soccer balls don’t last very long. The playing fields are usually very hard with
sparse grass, filled with sharp stones and thorns. Many soccer fields are surrounded with barbed
wire fences, as well. Most normal
footballs don’t stand a chance of living a long, productive life faced with
those obstacles! Our club goes through a
lot of balls. Sometimes we get balls
donated, but many times we have to buy them which is a large expense. Unfortunately, those balls (both thee donated
and purchased ones) get spoiled pretty quickly.
We can take them to the local tailor to repair them, but after a while
they become unrepairable and must be thrown away.
The One World Futbols will help us immensely in training. With these balls there is no need for a pump
because it never goes flat, even when punctured. They can be used on the street, at the beach,
at home or on the harshest of terrain. A
single ball will last for years. These
balls are not suitable for official games because they are a little heavier
than a normal ball and don’t bounce as much, but they’re great for training
because they are indestructible!
The best part is that when someone purchases a One World
Futball, the organization donates a ball to a community in need, especially
organizations that work in disadvantaged communities. It’s a Buy One, Give One model! We are blessed that the Suba Lakers are one
of the organizations they chose to partner with!
THANK YOU One World Futbol!!
