Before the friendly kick-off, TECNO announced an ambitious philanthropic initiative to refurbish 100 community football pitches across Africa within the next five years. This initiative aims to foster youth engagement, promote healthy living, and ensure access to quality playing fields in underserved communities. TECNO General Manager Jack Guo passionately stated, “We embark on a mission to illuminate countless dreams by revitalizing 100 pitches across Africa,” emphasizing the transformative power of TECNO’s initiative. 10-year-old boy Taylan Tankpinou added, “Thanks to TECNO, we’re building better places to play and grow!”.

 

Speech of the Philanthropic Initiative

Adding to the excitement, TECNO declared that for every goal scored in the match, an additional $10,000 would be donated to the cause. The match ended with TECNO donating $50,000 more to the project. This pledge turned each goal into a cheer, not only for the players but for future generations who will benefit from the improved facilities.
