Lamine Jamal, the 17-year-old Barcelona prodigy, has been appointed as a UNICEF ambassador, marking a significant milestone in his young career. In his inaugural campaign, he delivered an inspiring message to his brother Kane and children worldwide, emphasizing the importance of childhood rights and the joy of play. Jamal's heartfelt words were shared on World Children's Day, where he highlighted that all children have special rights that protect their happiness and health, as outlined in the World Children's Rights Convention.
Since making his debut for FC Barcelona at just 15 years and 9 months, Jamal has shattered multiple records, becoming the youngest player to score for the club and in various competitions, including the Spanish League and the King's Cup. His remarkable talent and maturity on the pitch have garnered attention, making him a role model for young athletes.
Despite his recent achievements, Jamal is currently sidelined due to an ankle injury, which will keep him out of action for two to three weeks. This absence comes as Barcelona prepares for their upcoming La Liga match against Celta Vigo.
