VELUX EHF Champions League goes pink on the International Day of the Girl Child

 

On 11 October, the whole world is celebrating the International Day of the Girl Child. On that day Plan International, the charity partner of the VELUX EHF Champions League, will draw worldwide attention to the fact that girls often do not have the same chances as boys and that they are often prevented from exercising their rights. On the International Day of the Girl Child, Plan International supports girls in standing up for their aims and rights and encourages them to take over leading roles in politics and society.

 

The VELUX EHF Champions League and participating clubs will take part in the International Day of the Girl Child and give girls the chance to symbolically open the games of round 5 and bring the official match ball onto the playing court. In addition, the center circle will be pink for this round. Pink is a strong colour, which conveys power, joie de vivre and the courage to stand up for oneself. For girls, it is a signal demonstrating that they can live their dreams and achieve their goals.

 

Since last season, the VELUX EHF Champions League has been committed to the children‘s development organisation Plan International by supporting a sponsored child in Brazil and many additional activities.
