Allianz and FC Bayern have kicked off the
ninth Allianz Junior Football Camp this week, offering children from 25 nations
the chance to learn and play with the best of the best. FC Bayern will again
host the camp on its famous training grounds, this year taking place from
August 17 to 22.

| The Camp began with a lecture on Sports Psychology at the Hotel Limmerhoff in Taufkirchen, Munich, Germany. |
A total of 54 girls and boys will benefit
from exposure to top football trainers and players. For the first time, Allianz
and the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation have partnered to enable a
17-year-old boy from Afghanistan take part in the Camp.
“This year´s camp takes the project one important step further, offering
coaching for both physical and mental health and going further to encourage
intercultural exchange. Allianz is entering its ninth year as sponsor of the
camp as a proud advocate of health, community, adventure and team spirit,”
said Oliver Kraus, Global Partnership Manager at Allianz SE.
Allianz is dedicated to encouraging its
customers and future generations to fulfilling their dreams and will launch a
10-part video series documenting participants’ life stories and experiences at
the camp. The webisodes offer glimpse into how the AJFC has improved their
lives and will appear on the Allianz YouTube Channel.
The first short film “One Chance to Save
his Family from Poverty” features 12-year-old Chandan, a young and talented
footballer from India who joined the AJFC in 2016. With a monthly salary of
only 40 euros, his mother was not able to afford a pair of football cleats, so
Chandan pursued his passion – playing barefoot. In the video, he explains how
the AJFC has changed his life: from playing barefoot to becoming a celebrity in
this hometown, Chandan has been recognized by his school, home state and the
central government authorities. He has even been shortlisted to represent the
Baichung Bhutia Football Academy in the U-13 league team.
The Facebook live stream with an FC Bayern
player and an AJFC participant will also be broadcasted on August 19 at 9:00 AM
CET via https://www.facebook.com/allianz/
