Princess Rani Vanouska Modely the football princess
Princess Rani Vanouska Modely is the Founder of the Football World Heritage Organization, and the official ambassador delegate to lead the candidacy of Football as a world intangible heritage to be registered on UNESCO’s list. Rani Vanouska T.Modely is a descendant from one of the most important houses of the Indian Empire. Princess Rajput, of the Chauhan royal dynasty, heiress of the direct lineage of King Hammira-Deva Chauhan of Ranthambhore. Whose ancestor is none other than HRH Prithviraj Chauhan III, “the last Emperor of India” who ruled the kingdoms of Ajmer and Delhi in northern India. She is originally from French, British and Indo-European noble families.
Why does Princess Rani Vanouska T. Modely thinks football can change the World? The world’s systems are crumbling under economic crises, the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, human rights problems, and so on. With this in mind, the candidacy seeks to encourage the signatory states of UNESCO and the world of football to adopt policies to support and finance social, educational, and charitable initiatives. Like Nelson Mandela said, “Football can change the world.”
Helping football grow means also helping poor local communities grow. As football is played mostly by kids Rani Vanouska Modely attention is focused on bringing humanitarian relief for young people all over the world. Football is creating bridges between people without distinction of language, religion, race or sex discrimination and , because of this, it is a perfect tool to change the world and promote human rights, equity and fairness. Princess Rani Vanouska T. Modely views the sport as a tool for rekindling hope in the lives of children around the world.
Vanouska Modely conceived her Football World Heritage idea when invited to the Champion’s League Final awards ceremony in Monaco in the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Football is much more than the most popular sport, it is a universal common language shared by 4.5 billion people on the planet. It, therefore, has its full place in the service of the objectives of the United Nations: education, culture, social inclusion, equality, environment and the development of the programs of nations united in the service of PEACE.
Jacques Seguela shared, ” Rani Vanouska is the perfect person for such an ambitious project as she has the vision as well as the spirit to push the cause of peace around the world.It is a privilege and an honour to be associated with her as I have been privy to her extensional growth as a person. That is the reason why I, along with the Havas Group, have confirmed our support for her and Football World Heritage ”.
Why should Football be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site? Soccer has a double impact, that of raising the awareness of a maximum number of individuals, and advancing our society by giving hope to all children in all nations of the world. Soccer, because of its global nature, must remain a model of exemplarity and shared values. It allows us to take a new look at our fundamental challenges, breaking down all barriers in the world, to open the doors of tolerance, sharing and respect, and must show the path of Peace to be followed for our children. I think that soccer is much more than a sport, it is a universal symbol of optimism that has the natural power to draw smiles on the faces of the youngest, to accompany them in learning about life.
“Football can change the world.” It’s a common language, activity, source of health and happiness. Many football organizations have already shown support for Princess Rani Vanouska Modely and her UNESCO football candidacy bid. “We are conscious of the enormous power of the most popular sport in the world, of its capacity to act as a vehicle for universal values such as fair-play and respect and of its efficiency in the strive for social improvement that is the equality between men and women, social inclusion, tolerance, and education. We hope that Football will be saved in the Intangible Cultural Heritage list of UNESCO” – Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
What’s the goal ? Our goal is to bring a real ball to every child on the planet that cannot afford one as a universal symbol of freedom and equality. Developing football infrastructure, local projects, giving all children a place where football can be played. Football means happy and healthy kids, and there is no better investment for the future than that.
Princess Rani Vanouska T. Modely is no stranger to the world of the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, more commonly known as UNESCO. She was officially appointed to the french national comission UNESCO as a Goodwill representative in 2015, but wanted to do more than representative action. She wanted to get off the sidelines and into the game. Relying on her experience with the National comission for UNESCO, she has become the founder, president, and delegate ambassador for Football World Heritage. Football World Heritage (FWH) is a not-for-profit organization that wants football, the world’s most popular sport, to be designated as an intangible world heritage activity for humanity. Why is that the mission of Football World Heritage? Because they truly believe that football can change the world. And Princess Rani Vanouska T. Modely believes that too.
Some think at Vanessa Modely as a Mother Theresa for football and the comparison is natural if you look at the motives and the goals involved. Fighting against child poverty, fighting for human rights and happiness, that creates similarities between the two. The young beauty, Princess Rani Vanouska T. Modely thinks that football should be registered as part of UNESCO’s World Cultural Intangible Heritage with a special focus on children and unity ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. This require 185 countries to sign the initiative and many already did it.
The cause is close to the heart of Jacques Seguela. He said, “People in different parts of the world have been dealt with different cards and everyone has a different journey. However, there is no denying that the sport of football transcends the boundaries of colour, religion, nationality and more. As a French, I have always been in awe of the sports and the spirit of nationality attached to it. I hope that the destination of Princess Rani Vanouska Modely will help 185 states to make it a part of UNESCO’s list”.
