The World Health Organisation (WHO) together with the International Federation of Football Association (FIFA) has launched a global concussion awareness campaign.
This was contained in a statement issued by WHO on Wednesday.
The campaign “Suspect and Protect: No Match is Worth the Risk,” aims to educate players, coaches, and medical staff on the risks of brain injuries, and particularly concussion, and promote safe return-to-play practices.
