Zlatan Ibrahimovic gets names of 50 starving people tattooed on his body

Ibrahimovic tattoos names of starving people

Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has shown his support to the millions of starving people around the world by having 50 names temporarily tattooed onto his body.

The Sweden international showed off the body art by removing his shirt after scoring just two minutes into PSG's 2-2 draw with Caen on Saturday.

The tribute was made to praise the work of the United Nations World Food Programme, who have helped 805 million people suffering from hunger.

"Wherever I go people recognise me, call my name, cheer for me," Ibrahimovic told reporters. "But there are names no-one cares to remember, that no-one cheers for - the 805 million people suffering from hunger in the world today.

"I have the supporters all over the world. From now on I want this support to go to the people who suffer from hunger, they are the real champions. So whenever you hear my name, you will think of their names."

Ibrahimovic's PSG side are currently third in the Ligue 1 table.
