Germany's Mesut Ozil Donates World Cup Bonus Money To Children In Brazil by MRLINGTON(m): 10:22pm On Jul 18, 2014 |
Brazil left a lasting impression on Mesut Ozil, and now the German soccer star is saying thank you. Ozil, who helped lead Germany to its first World Cup title in 24 years, is donating his bonus money from winning soccer's biggest prize to help pay for the surgeries of 23 Brazilian children in need. The midfield wiz, who plays his club soccer for Arsenal in the Premier League, confirmed his donation through the BigShoe charity on his Facebook page Wednesday. "Dear fans," Ozil wrote, "prior to the #WorldCup I supported the surgery of eleven sick children. Since the victory of the #WorldCup is not only due to eleven players but to our whole team, I will now raise the number to 23. "This is my personal thank-you for the hospitality of the people of Brazil. #Bigshoe #Brasil2014." Germany beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time in Sunday's final in Rio to complete the month-long tournament hosted by Brazil. The German players reportedly received bonuses of $600,000 for delivering a fourth World Cup title to the soccer-mad country.
