Happy to equally have our day-one partners, from the @UNRwanda who were present and with whom we are actively working to ensure that everything we do with the LEGENDS, serves the agenda of the global Sustainable Development Goals. #Legends4SDGs #FootballForGoals #vcwc2024

Upon their introduction, the VCWC Chairman @FredSiewe simply emphasised that VCWC is all about attracting partners like @RainbowSports1 , that can contribute to sustainable projects for the host country. Rainbow is now one amongst many more that will follow.

Speaking last night were: - Kingsley PUNGONG, CEO of @RainbowSports1 - Jeff LUHNOW, CEO of Bluecrow Investment and - Francis NKWAIN, Chairman of @BoA_Awards More about Rainbow on: rainbow-sports.com/

As a reminder, the VCWC Business Club is a network that brings together private sector and development partners, inorder to work hand in hand with football LEGENDS, towards ensuring that the event contributes to social, economic, cultural and environmental impact.

Prior to that, the delegation attended the Berlin Africa Week to promote the upcoming VCWC Business Forum in 2024. The event brought together business leaders at the Berlin Chamber of commerce to discuss investment and industrialisation opportunities in Africa. #Africaday

Rabah Madjer was one of the most important players in Porto’s history, having made over 100 appearances for the Portuguese outfit between 1985 and 1991, scoring 51 goals in the process. Thank you for making African football shine. #AfricaDay2023

Didier Drogba during his career has been a force of nature and to this day he is the top African scorer in Premier League history. He was top scorer in the Premier League in 2006/2007, 2009/2010, won three Premier League titles and one Champions League with Chelsea.

Roger Milla is perhaps best known for his celebration of the corner flag, but he is much more than a symbolic figure in African football history. To this day he remains the oldest player to score at a World Cup, having found the net in 1994 at the age of 42.
