The event follows on from the success of the 2003 shirt amnesty in which 25,000 shirts last year. The FA, helped by ambassadors Gary Mabbutt and Viv Anderson, distributed these kits in South during a goodwill visit. Click here to find out more.

This year The BBC and The FA are hoping to collect even more shirts. These will then be given to less privileged football fans in South Africa, Kenya and possibly Nigeria.

The FA sees the initiative as a classic way of football being used to make a positive difference. Jane Bateman, Head of International Relations said "The FA is delighted to be involved in the Five Live Shirt Amnesty.

"We know from our own experience of working overseas – particularly in the less developed countries from the world – how much a simple donation of a football shirt or a football is appreciated".

To help make a difference, send your washed kit to:

Locker Freight Ltd, Haleview Road, Huyton, Liverpool, L36 6DD
