Alba Gets Sporty in South Africa Hollywood beauty Jessica Alba showed off her ball skills in South Africa on Monday (15Mar10) when she took part in a friendly game of soccer with local children.

The Fantastic Four star travelled to Johannesburg to promote the 1Goaleducation for All campaign, for which she serves as co-chairperson.

The aim of her visit was to raise awareness about the importance of this summer's (10) World Cup, which takes place in the country, in upliftingunderprivileged kids in Africa.

She says, "I have had an incredible visit to South Africa. I'm happy tobe sharing in the world's excitement about the upcoming World Cup. Not only is this going to be a tournament to remember, but the lasting legacy of this World Cup will be education for all".

But Alba took time out of her busy schedule to interact and enjoy a kick-about with local soccer-mad kids. Actor Kevin Spacey, rocker Bono and R&B singer Kelly Rowland are also ambassadors for the 1Goal campaign.
