Four Albion stars announced as new Foundation community ambassadors
Four Albion players – two from the men’s first team and two from the women’s – have today been unveiled as the official 2023/24 player community ambassadors for the BHAFC Foundation.
Vicky Losada and Pauline Bremer have both taken on the role of ambassador, with Kaoru Mitoma and Joel Veltman to represent the men’s first team.
The community ambassadors will support our work by representing the Foundation, meeting people in the communities we work in, and helping us to share important messages.
This will be Joel’s second season as ambassador, having already represented the Foundation in 2022/23.
“I’m really excited to be community ambassador for another season,” Joel said, “last year I met so many great people in the community, and I’m looking forward to meeting even more.
“I saw first hand the great work the Foundation do, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”
Kaoru, meanwhile, is celebrating his first year as a Foundation community ambassador.
“This is an amazing club, and when I learned about the great work the club’s charity does, I knew I wanted to help,” Kaoru said.
“I’m very happy to be the Foundation’s community ambassador and I think everyone should support this amazing charity.”
Champions League winner Pauline Bremer is a new addition to the squad, but she’s very keen to get to know her new community.
“I’m honoured to be an official community ambassador for the Foundation. I’ve heard all about the work they do, especially with young people, and it will be great to get out and meet as many people as I can.”
La Masia graduate Vicky Losada is another new arrival.
“I can’t wait to get started as a community ambassador,” she said, “In my career I’ve seen how important football can be to the local community.
“Football can change lives and I am proud to be a part of it.”
CEO Matt Dorn is excited to have the four stars on board for the season.
“Having four players committing to support the Foundation this year is incredible,” he told us.
“It just goes to show how much the players want to support their local community, and that they can clearly see the impact of our amazing work here at the Foundation.
“I thank them all for taking on their roles as community ambassadors, and I look forward to seeing how they can help us this season.”
