Qatar Airways and Qatar Duty Free are the official partners for the ‘Match for Hope’ charity football match on Friday at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium from 7.30pm, a statement said.
The two teams will be led by Mena’s most followed content creators AboFlah, and Chunkz. The legends in the teams include the World Cup winners Kaka, Roberto Carlos, Eden Hazard, Didier Drogba and David Villa, as well as Paris Saint-Germain legend, Claude Makélélé.
The Match for Hope event is aimed to raise vital awareness and funds for a better future for out-of-school children around the world. It is organised by Q Life, the cultural platform under Qatar’s International Media Office (IMO), in collaboration with Education Above All (EAA), and Qatar Football Association (QFA).
All proceeds raised will be donated to EAA projects in Mali, Pakistan, Palestine, Rwanda, Sudan, and Tanzania for constructing classrooms, providing academic materials, connecting families to social programmes, teacher mentorship trainings, and more.
The EAA Foundation was established in 2012 by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser to transform lives through education and create the right conditions to achieve Sustainable Development Goals for disadvantaged children and communities.
