Rüdiger Advocates for Refugees, Recalls Family's Journey

Real Madrid and Germany defender Antonio Rüdiger is advocating for refugees, drawing on his own family's experience fleeing civil war in Sierra Leone.

Growing up in Neukölln, Berlin, in a community largely made up of refugees, Rüdiger used football to navigate challenges in what he describes as a tough area. The defender emphasizes that refugees have 'no other choice' and stresses the importance of listening to their stories.

Rüdiger's parents settled in Germany after fleeing civil war in Sierra Leone, and the defender recalls how football kept him out of trouble while he developed the skills that would take him to the top of the sport. sweetbonanza-app.com
