Linfield join major campaign to help find missing young people

Linfield have joined a major campaign aimed at helping find missing young people.

The Danske Bank Premiership champions are among 50 European clubs who have pledged their support to the initiative which will run on International Missing Children's Day which is on May 25.

The campaign was inspired by Italian side Roma who have showed videos of missing children when signing players in recent years.

That idea helped find six missing children.

The European Club Association, which is co-ordinating the project, said: "With the huge following and global reach that these clubs boast, we hope that someone, somewhere might recognise one of the missing children in the videos so they can be reunited with their loved ones."

Other clubs who have signed up for the initiative so far include Borussia Dortmund in Germany, Inter Milan, Juventus and Lazio in Italy, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in Spain, and League of Ireland outfit Cork City.
