AS Roma and World Food Programme join forces to support Nepal

AS Roma and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) are joining forces to support the people of Nepal, who have been severely affected by the floods and landslides impacting the country. On the occasion of the European fixture Fenerbahce vs. Roma on September 10, the Giallorossi players will take the field with the World Food Programme logo on the front of their shirts, bringing attention to the emergency and raising visibility for WFP's work in support of affected communities.

AS Roma would like to thank Eurobet.live for their collaboration on this initiative, which will help shine a spotlight on the emergency in Nepal.

Floods and landslides have hit several areas of Nepal hard, leaving entire communities isolated. Approximately 43,000 people require immediate humanitarian assistance. The World Food Programme, the world's largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger, is responding to the emergency by providing food assistance and logistical support to reach the most affected and isolated communities.

Roma’s support will continue even after the final whistle. The shirts worn by the Giallorossi players during the match will be auctioned off, and the funds raised will go directly toward supporting the people of Nepal through World Food Programme interventions.

Fans can also play their part. Through ShareTheMeal, the World Food Programme's platform, anyone can contribute directly to the emergency response in Nepal in just a few clicks by joining the dedicated challenge "AS Roma: Together for Nepal," open to the international Giallorossi community.
