Soccer Player Ibrahimovic Tattoos 50 Names on Himself for @WFP

National

We're not sure if these are permanent or temporary tattoos, but it's definitely one way to make a statement and to get a humanitarian organization some press and coverage. It's also one way to get your team a yellow card.

On 14 February 2015, Paris Saint-German played against Caen at Parc des Princes. For most players this game was just another day on the job. For Zlatan Ibrahimović this was his most important game to date.
Underneath his sweater he had 50 new names tattooed. Names of people he’d never met, but still wanted to keep close. Names of some of the 805 million people suffering from hunger today.

These people don’t often make the front page, yet hunger and malnutrition are the number one risk to health worldwide — greater than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.

Check out the 805 Million Names website.
