Davies announced he will give back to the community.
Alphonso Davies of Bayern Munich said he will be donating all of his World Cup income to charity, according to a tweet posted on Tuesday.
“Canada welcomed me and my family and gave us the opportunity for a better life. It’s a great honour to play for Canada and I want to give back,” he tweeted.
The 21-year-old defender has come a long way as he was born and raised in a refugee camp in Ghana as his family sought refuge from the Liberian civil war.
Davies re-settled with his family in Edmonton, Canada which is where he rose to become one of the world’s best football defenders.
Last year, Davies made history after becoming the first footballer and the first Canadian to be appointed as a Global Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
