The world has known how to beat this disease for more than a century, yet it remains the number one killer of children under five in Africa, claiming more than 1 million lives a year. Malaria No More works to raise the profile of the disease among the public, policymakers, and businesses, while engaging the private sector to provide life-saving bed nets and other critical interventions to families in Africa. For more information, visit malarianomore.org QUESTIONS & ANSWERS: CAN THE WINNER SELECT JERSEY SIZE? WILL THEY RECEIVE IT DURING THE EVENT AND IF SO CAN THEY REQUEST PLAYERS TO SIGN IT THERE? Yes, the winning bidder will get their choice of jersey size, and they will most likely have the opportunity to get the jersey signed, but we cannot guarantee that they will succeed in doing so. ARE THERE AGE RESTRICTIONS TO PARTICIPATE AND ALSO TO ATTEND THE POST TOURNAMENT EVENT? 15+. The winning bidder does not necessarily have to be the player – the winning bidder can sponsor any player so long as that person is 15 years or older. ARE THERE INSURANCE OR WAIVERS TO BE SIGNED TO PLAY? Yes, there will be waivers on hand to be signed. HOW GOOD A PLAYER SHOULD THE WINNER BE? AT LEAST AVERAGE PHYSICAL CONDITION? The matches are fairly short, and it helps if the player has some soccer experience, but is not a requirement for bidding in this auction. The winner should be able to participate in soccer for 5-7 minutes. CAN THE WINNER'S GUEST OR OTHERS WATCH THE TOURNEY? ARE THOUSANDS EXPECTED TO WATCH? WILL IT BE TELEVISED OR OTHERWISE SHOWN ANYWHERE? The event is public so anybody can come watch. Thousands are expected to attend, television coverage will probably be limited to news coverage and a highlight clip on the more than a club website. WHAT IS INCLUDED AT THE EVENT? FOOD, DRINKS, ETC? Food and drink will be provided for all players. TERMS AND CONDITIONS The auction is managed on eBay Giving Works by Auction Cause, a premier auction brand management agency. All bidders must have a PayPal account in order to be allowed to bid, though paying with PayPal is not a requirement.

If your account is used by a family member or other person in your household, you are still fully liable and cannot avoid payment. We mention this only as people do get excited about special auctions and do not always think they will win or do not bid thinking they will have to pay. Please do not bid if you are not 100% certain you can follow through with payment at the winning bid price promptly. The seller reserves the right to reject any bids at its sole discretion and screen all bidders, including requesting additional documentation on the ability to make payment as well as request a deposit to be paid before being allowed to bid, regardless of eBay feedback history. In such circumstances, the deposit will be refunded if said bidder is not the winning bidder upon the auction's close. A non-paying bidder will be subject to collection and legal costs. By bidding in this auction, the bidder understands and agrees to eBay's terms of service as well as all terms and conditions mentioned here.
