Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger launched on Thursday an educational foundation to support sports literacy in Sierra Leone, the west African nation where his mother was born.
He arrived on Monday during the Premier League’s international break. “It’s a huge pleasure for me and my family to be here, I don’t see myself as a superstar because my parents always tell me to be humble – that’s why I’m here today,” Rudiger said. “To me this foundation means a lot, because I don’t want it to be a one-man show, I want it to be something we all – most importantly the young generation and the community – can look up to,” he added.
The ceremony concluded with a $40,000 (36,000 euros) pledge by Rudiger and an auction for his autographed No. 2 Chelsea jersey which sold to a fan for $2,000.
