Soccer star Didier Drogba is the global ambassador for (NIKE) RED

The (NIKE) RED Lace Up 2 Save Lives campaign reached hundreds of fans at the Atteridgeville Super Stadium in Pretoria at the last match of the Premier Soccer League.

Last weekend 346 people took the opportunity to take a free, confidential HIV test and three of them won a RED game ball, N 98 jacket and pair of mercurials signed by Mphela.

One of them told other fans happily that he was HIV negative after he got his results.

The (NIKE) RED campaign aims to fight AIDS in Africa and 100% of the profits from the sale of the (NIKE) RED laces – R40 a pair in South Africa – go towards The Global Fund and community football programmes, supported by NIKE.

The HIV/AIDS NGO Right to Care set up testing stations and their staff worked to their limit on Saturday, at the Mamalodi Sundowns match against Golden Arrows.

The Brazilians wore (NIKE) RED laces and a (NIKE) RED ball was used for the game.

Making communities aware of HIV/AIDS is one of the goals of NIKE South Africa and Grassroots Soccer.
