At the moment, that is not the case for 80% of adolescents around the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>One former player who celebrated hundreds of goals in an illustrious career is former Co\u0302te d\u2019Ivoire striker Didier Drogba, who is now a WHO Goodwill Ambassador.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing active provides many benefits to everyone, especially for children while they are growing and developing physically, mentally and socially,\u201d said Drogba. \u201cBeing active is good for your body and your mind \u2013 mental and physical health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who is also a WHO Goodwill Ambassador and will be coming to Qatar with Brazil, knows the importance of being in peak condition. He wants to use the focus on the FIFA World CupTM to encourage youngsters to #BringTheMoves and get more active.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI support the Bring the Moves challenge because I really believe kids have to be active,\u201d said the Liverpool goalkeeper. \u201cThey need to be active for the good of their future as they are growing up. I [can] see that we, football players, can be an inspiration for them as well. So, if we can have fun with them and make them move their bodies a little bit, we\u2019re going to be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The campaign also encourages children to download GenMove, a digital app that uses artificial intelligence to encourage children to be physically active daily throughout the FIFA World Cup. Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, said: \u201cFootball, music and joy are the perfect ingredients to get people moving for health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWHO\u2019s partnership with FIFA and Qatar Ministry of Public Health on the Bring The Moves challenge is all about connecting World Cup stars with young people globally, to motivate people everywhere to be more physically active for better health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>#BringTheMoves is part of a collaboration between FIFA, WHO and the Ministry of Public Health, Qatar designed to harness the power of football to protect and promote health for all. This, in turn, will create a blueprint for protecting and promoting health at mass gatherings which can then be shared with the IOC and other sports organisations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
