Match for Solidarity helps disabled children around the globe
On 21 April, UEFA and the United Nations Office at Geneva joined forces to stage the Match for Solidarity charity football match.
The match, held at the Stade de Genève in glorious sunshine, proved to be extremely popular, with 23,654 fans turning up to watch Figo’s team triumph 4–3 in an almost sold-out stadium. The overriding aim of the event was to promote peace, human rights and well-being across the world through the the Sustainable Development Goals as set out by the United Nations.
Field in a Box – Pirapora do Bom Jesus, Brazil
The UEFA Foundation for Children has been running its Field in a Box project since 2016 with the aim of providing enclosed, fully functional artificial football pitches to impoverished communities. These pitches are environmentally sustainable and quick to install.
Konami Holdings Corporation the UEFA Champions League sponsor – was willing to work with the UEFA Foundation for Children and take the Field in a Box concept to Brazil. The global not-for-profit network streetfootballworld helped Konami to identify the location for its pitch – in Pirapora do Bom Jesus, on the outskirts of Sao Paulo – and the local charity Fundação EPROCAD to maintain the pitch and ensure its sustainable use.
