As the #AFCON2025 kicks off in Morocco, African football icons William Troost-Ekong (Nigeria) and Franck Kessié (Côte d'Ivoire) join forces with the UNCCD to launch the #Sport4Land initiative. The Reality: Every second, the world loses the equivalent of 4 football fields of healthy land. The Mission: Defend our land just like we defend our goal. This campaign is a partnership between the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), ICESCO, and the Ministry of Youth, Culture, and Communication of Morocco. 👇 Join the Team & Learn More: https://www.unccd.int/sport4land About the Initiative: Sport4Land leverages the power of sport to mobilize youth, create green jobs, and restore the ecosystems that sustain us. Land is the stadium where all human activity takes place. If we lose the land, we lose the game. #Sport4Land #AFCON2025 #United4Land #WilliamTroostEkong #FranckKessie #FootballForGood #ClimateAction #Morocco #Rabat #UNCCD
