David Beckham has been announced as the face of a new campaign against ebola as part of his role as a UNICEF ambassador.

Beckham is to film a video in which he'll discuss the importance of cleanliness in fighting the epidemic in African countries Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, which he visited in 2008. Sierra Leone Football Association president Isha Johansen told The Sun on Sunday 'In Sierra Leone, football is a religion. All men, women and children follow a player or a team from the Premier League but David Beckham is the favourite'.
