Jessica Alba showed off her ball skills in South Africa on Monday when she took part in a friendly game of soccer with local children.

Jess was in Johannesburg to promote the 1GOAL: Education for All campaign, for which she serves as co-chairperson. The aim of her visit was to raise awareness about the importance of the World Cup, which takes place in the country, in uplifting underprivileged kids in Africa.

She says, "I have had an incredible visit to South Africa. I'm happy to be 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 Jess also took time out of her busy schedule to interact and enjoy a kickabout with local soccer-mad kids.

Kevin Spacey, Bono and Kelly Rowland are also ambassadors for the 1GOAL campaign, so we might spot them all here soon!
