Sports giant Adidas has pledged one percent of global net sales from footballs to Common Goal, the initiative kickstarted by Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata.
The German-based organisation, which provides the official ball for Euro 2020, has agreed a link-up until 2023 in a huge step forward for Common Goal's project of using football to help social change around the globe.
Launched in 2017, when Mata committed to pledge one percent of his salary to a collective fund, the project can now boast almost 200 players and managers, including Italy captain Giorgio Chiellini, Denmark keeper Kasper Schmeichel, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, Chelsea's Timo Werner and former Manchester United women's manager Casey Stoney.
