“On 14 February 2015, Paris Saint-German played against Caen at Parc des Princes,” say the WFP. “For most players this game was just another day on the job. For Zlatan Ibrahimović this was his most important game to date.
Underneath his sweater he had 50 new names tattooed. Names of people he’d never met, but still wanted to keep close. Names of some of the 805 million people suffering from hunger today.
“These people don’t often make the front page, yet hunger and malnutrition are the number one risk to health worldwide — greater than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.
“This is a campaign from the World Food Programme, the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. In emergencies, they get food to where it is needed, saving the lives of victims of war, civil conflict and natural disasters. WFP is part of the United Nations system and is voluntarily funded.
“On average, WFP reaches more than 80 million people with food assistance in 75 countries each year. About 11,500 people work for the organisation, most of them in remote areas, serving the hungry.”
While it’s undoubtedly a noble cause, this latest stunt is about the most Zlatan thing we’ve ever heard.
Zlatan got 50 new tattoos to highlight '850 million people suffering from hunger'
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC SCORED for Paris Saint-Germain two minutes into their 2-2 draw with Caen in Ligue 1 yesterday.
To celebrate his 11th league goal of the season, the Swedish striker took off his jersey to unveil a selection of new tattoos.
Today, it was revealed that the recently-acquired ink is part of a campaign with the World Food Programme to highlight global hunger.
