The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has announced a heartwarming initiative to support the victims of the recent devastating floods in Kerala and Himachal Pradesh. Two charity football matches are planned, aiming to raise vital funds for the relief efforts in these affected states.
The first match is tentatively scheduled for August 30th in Manjeri, Kerala’s Malappuram district. The fixture will see Kolkata’s Mohammedan Sporting Club face off against a Super League Kerala XI, comprised of players from the inaugural season of the league. This clash promises to be an exciting spectacle for local fans while simultaneously raising awareness for the crucial cause.
The second match is proposed for September 2nd in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. While details about the participating teams haven’t been finalized yet, it’s clear that the AIFF is committed to extending its support to both affected regions.
“Sports is a powerful medium to offer comfort and heal humanity after such tragedies,” said the AIFF president. These charity matches are a testament to the unifying power of football, bringing people together not just for the beautiful game, but also to support those in need.
Fans and supporters are encouraged to attend these matches, showcasing their unwavering love for football while contributing to a worthy cause. The AIFF’s initiative will undoubtedly bring much-needed support to the flood-affected areas, and with the power of football behind them, the path to recovery will be a little brighter.
