Why was Antonio Rudiger in Sierra Leone?

While he does represent Germany on the international stage, Rudiger still tries to stay connected to his roots, through means of football and charity work.

Rudiger’s parents were forced to flee Sierra Leone in 1991 due to the outbreak of a civil war, and made a new start to life in Berlin, Germany.

The centre-back has teamed up with children’s aid organisation, BigShoe, in Lunsar, iIn an attempt to help children born with clubfoot, by carrying out expensive, yet life changing operations.

Rudiger explained the reasoning behind his work by saying: "Every child has dreams, but not all of them have the opportunity to pursue them - I want to change that."
