On May 25, the football world is uniting to support International Missing Children’s Day.
Over 200 clubs from six continents will be joined by international associations, national leagues, governing bodies and the wider global football community to take part in the ‘Football Cares’ initiative that aims to help reunite missing children with their loved ones.
Whether you are one of the biggest clubs in the world, a non-league team, a player, coach, journalist, fan or football organisation, you are invited to support the campaign that AS Roma is organising with the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
More information about the project can be found at the bottom of this page.
