Organised by Fair Trade In Football Campaign founder Sharron Hardwick, supported by Fair Trade Wales, the Fair Trade World Cup was launched to offer schools and organisations, ideas and activities to link Fairtrade, football and the World Cup. Downlaod here...

 

 

12 of the 32 World Cup 2014 qualifiers are listed as Fairtrade Producer Countries on Fairtrade International’s Map.

 

The Fair Trade In Football Campaign, Tavernspite teachers, Richard Henton and Julie Houghton, are organising the Fairtrade Football Finals.

 

Tavernspite hope to invite pupils of Dyffryn Taf to referee the games.

 

“I can’t thank Richard, Julie and all at Tavernspite School enough for hosting and helping organise the Fair Trade World Cup Finals. This brings local schools together to play Fairtrade football and helps promote the Fair Trade in Football Campaign’s fight for fairness for football stitchers; who often receive less than a living wage, trapping families in poverty.”

Shared Sharron.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each of the 12 participating schools have drawn a Fairtrade Producer country which their team of 5 players and 2 substitutes will represent in the Finals.
