11th September 2006

FC Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard is delighted with the five-year agreement between UNICEF and Barca.
After more than one hundred years, the team shirt will finally carry a sponsor logo. Barca was proud to be the only among the big clubs that has never worn a company logo on their shirt. But this will change for the first time tonight. But this is not the usual kind of sponsorship. The club will be promoting worldwide solidarity via UNICEF. An initiative that the Barca coach Rijkaard is very proud to be involved in:

I think it's splendid. It is an act of generosity. Something never seen before in the football world. I love it, it is something historic, and the board should be congratulated.
