A GLOBAL-SCALE PROGRAM
The “11 for Health” program was firstly launched in 2009 as part of FIFA’s medical legacy to Africa on the occasion of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Aimed at improving children’s physical fitness, health knowledge and lifestyle, this program has been implemented globally. For the first time, “11 for Health” program is introduced to Pakistan.
