“20 Centres for 2010”
is the Campaign of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. Its aim is to raise funds to create twenty Football for Hope Centres for public health, education and football for youth across Africa.

During this day different celebrities from all over the world will give skill training, social education and social skills training to the children.

8 teams will battle in a 5-a-side round robin competition. During the competition there will be no referees and the teams will negotiate their own rules to promote communication, understanding and respect.
