Five-year-old Murtaza Ahmadi, from the Jaghori District,
Afghanistan who shot to fame after photographs of him wearing a
makeshift Leo Messi jersey has finally received real signed jersey from
the Barcelona football star. Unicef Afghanistan shared the photos of
Ahmadi showing off his brand new jersey and dribbling the ball on
Facebook.
"I love Messi and my shirt says Messi loves me," UNICEF quoted Murtaza as saying.
"Murtaza
realized one of his biggest dreams today! He received team
jerseys and an autographed football with a personal message from UNICEF
Goodwill Ambassador Leo Messi. The right to play and practice sports
promotes the well-being of all
children, especially the most vulnerable trapped in emergencies around
the world. As of today, Murtaza Ahmadi can proudly show off the new
signed jerseys and a football he received from UNICEF Goodwill
Ambassador Leo Messi. Murtaza's photo went viral after he was pictured
wearing an Argentine
National Team soccer jersey made from a plastic bag with ‘Messi’ and the
number ’10’ penned on the back. This year UNICEF is appealing for
$2.8billion to reach 43 million
children trapped in emergencies worldwide. Like so many other children,
he has the same right to thrive, play, and practice sports."
