Paulo Dybala, the striker of Juventus and Argentina, has pledged to fight for social justice and combat discrimination after joining the football movement with a common purpose.
The 26-year-old, known as “La Joya”, is the 159th footballer or manager to sign for the collective, and says he will concentrate on his commitment to social justice.
Common Goal members donate at least 1% of their annual salary to a central fund that invests in high-impact organizations that use football to empower vulnerable youth around the world.
Dybala will lead an ambitious football-based mission, leveraging youth schooling and leadership to help the effects of violence, racism and discrimination. The allocation of Joint Goals will identify and exercise young leaders in disadvantaged communities in countries such as Argentina, Colombia, Germany, India, Pakistan, Israel and Rwanda.
The announcement comes when Dybala celebrates his fifth consecutive Serie A title with Juventus. Embarrassed by the start of the season, he seemed ready to move to the Premier League, but has since played forty-five times this season, scoring 17 goals and attending 14.
“Winning the Scudetto for the fifth time in a row is a team achievement, and I sought to make sure that this good fortune in the draw is in line with my ambition as a person,” Dybala said.
“It’s not about me, it’s quite the opposite, it’s about running in combination to deal with the demanding situations we face. I’m committed to betting my component to help discrimination, and education is the key.
“What better time to celebrate the platform as players than when we have good fortune on the field?
“Common Goal is the ultimate simple and most effective platform that allows me to maximize my ambitions in terms of social impact, while concentrating on my football career and other philanthropic activities that are close to my heart.”
Dybala aligned the direction of its social investment around 3 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: schooling (goal 4), cuts (goal 10) and peace and justice (goal 16).
He is the first elite Argentine men’s player to sign for Common Goal. Other players who have signed up for the motion include Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Mats Hummels and Giorgio Chiellini. Managers such as Jurgen Klopp and Casey Stoney MBE are also members.
And in June, an organization of Germany’s most sensible football officers raised more than 500,000 euros ($561,000) for a fund that is not unusual for vulnerable young people.
Manchester United striker Juan Mata, who was the first player to register for Common Goal in August 2017, said: “Paulo is one of the most talented and valuable players on the planet and is an addition to Common Goal.
“The fact that he uses the league name with Juventus to mock what good fortune means to him as a user is very inspiring. Paulo understands that football has an exclusive strength to remodel the global and we will have to combine all the paintings. to squander its full potential.
Common Goal, which celebrates its third anniversary on 4 August, has generated more than 2 million euros for football for initiatives, plus 600,000 euros more through its Covid-19 reaction fund, presented in April.
