they are mascots that come from local schools or youth teams or supporters clubs, its an old tradition been going on as long as i can remember..
Most probably those kids are players in the youth club. Believe me that even Wayne Rooney used to walk out with the players before the match starts.
Also because FIFA, the world football governing body, has a partnership with UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund. The two organisations team up to prevent children from being recruited as child soldiers, inform them about the dangers of HIV/AIDS through education and discussion, and promote educations for girls, among many other objectives. Their goal is to demonstrate how footballers can serve as role models, and how the game of football is one of the most powerful ways through which the world can receive messages of non-violence, tolerance and peace.
