In a friendly match between England and Wales at Wembley, a touching scene occurred. The BBC reported that players from both teams entered the venue for the first time with 22 special adult caddies, all of whom are patients with dementia.
This campaign, jointly launched by the Football Association of England, the Football Association of Wales and the Alzheimer's Association, aims to raise public awareness of dementia.
In addition to the special ball boy entrance ceremony, in the second half of the game, all players changed into jerseys without names on the back. The move symbolizes memory loss, one of the most common symptoms of dementia.
