The Sussex County FA, together with charity partners Sussex to Africa, is encouraging all clubs and players to donate any of their unwanted football kit and/or equipment, so that it can be put to good use and bring joy to communities over in Africa.
Shirts, socks, goalkeeper gloves, shorts, boots and shin pads, plus tracksuits, trainers and footballs can all be donated.
