This is the result of a 6-month long undercover investigative report I created for the Global March Against Child Labour covering the underground (and illegal) football industry employing children in India and Pakistan. We found balls being produced for Adidas, Coca-Cola and even The Economist…

The results brought UNICEF, WTO and Global March representative to the same table to find a solution.

Due to the nature of the report and that we had to go undercover, no professional photo equipment was used, but rather smaller low-quality cameras… so I apologise for the poor quality of the images.
