[Total Ball Kid – Walid - Alger – Algeria]

[Total Ball Kid – Jeremiah – Lagos – Nigeria]

Jeremiah: Travelling and meeting a lot of new people is a really great experience for me.

[Total Ball Kid – Fanta – Abidjan – Ivory Coast]

Fanta: It is a unique opportunity, it makes me want to travel more and discover other countries. I’m so happy!

[Total Ball Kid – Malak – Cairo – Egypt]

[Total Ball Kid – Rija – Antananarivo – Madagascar]

Fanta: With the other children, the language barrier is a bit complicated, but the Algerian understands several languages; so he becomes the link between us and the other children.

Walid: I have to speak with everyone, I speak with the Nigerian who speaks English, with Fanta who speaks French, and with Malak who speaks Arabic.

Jeremiah: Football is a universal language. 

Malak: The ball that I got with all the players signatures was the best surprise.

Jeremiah: We all share the same ambition, we are all going to the final together as Total Ball Kids. It's the first experience for most of us. Yes, I see them as family now. 

Fanta: This final is going to be a big party.

Jeremiah: It's the biggest stadium I have ever seen in my life.

Walid: I imagine the atmosphere in the stadium tonight, it will be crazy!

Rija: It was an incredible experience. I can’t wait to come back and tell my friends how amazing it was.

Jeremiah: And this particular experience is one I am sure I will not get over easily. I am going to remember it for the rest of my life. 

Walid: Algeria won the Total Africa Cup of Nations, right in front of my eyes. The players took me in their arms, they were so happy. I think it's the best day of my life since I was born.
