A simple pair of soccer boots could make a world of difference for young footballers in Zambia, with one community member calling on locals to donate their pre-loved sporting gear.

‍

The appeal is seeking soccer boots for boys and men aged 10 through to adults, along with training equipment such as soccer balls, to support several small teams on the outskirts of Lusaka, Zambia.

‍

Many of the young players currently take to the field barefoot or wearing worn-out footwear, making even a second-hand pair of boots a valuable gift.

‍

Organisers are encouraging anyone with unused soccer boots or training gear tucked away at home to consider donating them, giving the equipment a second life while helping young athletes pursue the sport they love.

‍

Every donation, no matter how small, will help provide local teams with the equipment they need to train and play more safely.

‍

Anyone interested in donating soccer boots or training gear is encouraged to get in touch with Riah Pearl via private message to arrange a collection.
