i am a football lover and i have always asked for the reason footballers walk alongside kids to the line up during a football match. i have also gotten answers ranging from the procedure being a FIFA culture to it being a fair play approach. i still think there is more to it than the above. please football lovers lets give reason to this very popular but yet unexplained modus aparandi that governs the very sport that has united millions of people world over. lalasticla.la i am sure you are with me on this. 15 Likes 1 Share

The agreement was between UNICEF and FIFA. The campaign was meant to improve and protect children’s lives around the world and show that football is making a difference for children. The most visible way the campaign was promoted was by having children “lead the players on to the field wearing FIFA/UNICEF "Say Yes" T-shirts” before every World Cup match in 2002. 312 Likes 14 Shares |

I don't think there's really anything attached to it. its just ceremonial. Same way the players wear Track suit tops in the pitch before the game starts. 1 Like |

At the turn of the millennium FIFA announced that they would be partnering with UNICEF in the name of a “Say Yes for Children” Campaign. The campaign was meant to “improve and protect children’s lives” around the world and show “football making a difference for children.” This came slightly after the the first signs of mascots in the premier league in 1999 and at the 2000 European Championships, where for the first time 11 mascots were used on both sides. 9 Likes |

FROM what I know, it's a kind of significance that a % amount of earnings by the footballer goes into the UNICEF funds for children around the world |
