In line with the launch of the UEFA EURO 2020, vivo Malaysia announced its vivo Dream Field campaign, where fellow Malaysians are invited to share their football dreams with the world and celebrate their passion for football together, and this includes the nation’s disability football athletes. The vivo Dream Field campaign that will be launched across two phases – the vivo Care program and ‘My Football Dream’ campaign – aims to empower everyone to pursue their dreams and experience happiness while recording their beautiful moments during the UEFA EURO 2020 tournament.
Empowering communities through a mutual love for football
vivo Malaysia will be kickstarting the first phase of its vivo Dream Field campaign with its collaboration with Pan-Disability Football Club.
Under the vivo Care Program initiative, vivo is enabling customers to play their part by purchasing smartphones through vivo’s official e-store, and with each purchase, vivo will be donating RM35 to the Pan-Disability Football Club. The funds collected will support them in building a dedicated training centre and facilities for disability football in Malaysia. The fundraising campaign will be running from 11 June until 11 July 2021.
“Disability is not a barrier and our passion for sports has no limits. It creates opportunities for people to share and connect through sports, especially for our athletes with disabilities. We appreciate the given opportunity by vivo to share our football dreams with the world despite these challenging times,” said Sunny Shalesh, Founder of Pan-Disability Football Club.
Pan-Disability Football Club is a football inclusion program that enables young people and adults with any disability to participate in regular, organized football matches and coaching sessions in a safe and enjoyable environment. The club strongly advocates football as a social development tool for 10 classifications of people with a disability.
