Stand Up Speak Up
October 30 2009
Launched in 2005, Stand Up Speak Up raised the issue of racism on the football pitch on an international stage. The symbol, black and white interlocking wristbands, was worn across Europe and by top footballers such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.
All told, five million wristbands were sold and the proceeds distributed to innovative projects across Europe that use the power of football to combat racism on and off the pitch.
Check out the video to see one example of the hundreds of projects supported by the efforts Stand Up Speak Up.
