A charity football match featuring a team whose core will be composed of members of the Philippine Men’s National Team (“the Azkals”) playing against Internacional de Madrid will be held on Saturday, January 7th at the Rizal Memorial Stadium. Gate receipts and other proceeds from the match will be donated to the Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC) to benefit the victims of Typhoon Sendong.
Internacional de Madrid plays in the Tercera Division Grupo 7 (Third Division Group 7) of the Spanish League System. It currently lies in 12th place in its group close to the midway point of the season. On its website the team said “El Internacional de Madrid…es especialmente sensible a este tipo de tragedias, máxime en este caso por la cercanía que nos une al pueblo Filipino (Internacional de Madrid is particularly sympathetic to this type of tragedies, moreso because of the historical and cultural ties between Spain and the Philippines).”
The Philippine Team will be called the Azkals Alyansa. The team is expected to be lead by Azkals co-captain Chieffy Caligdong who will skipper the team in the absence of injured national team captain, Aly Borromeo. Also slated to play are James and Phil Younghusband, Ian Araneta, Anton del Rosario, Nate Burkey and Jason Sabio. The team will also include members of the developmental squad including OJ Clarino, Jinggoy Valmayor, Paolo Pascual and Raymark Fernandez. Rounding out the initial list of players are Eduard Sacapano, Roel Gener, Nestor Margarse, Misagh Bahadoran and Lexton Moy.
The match will be televised by ABS CBN as well as shown live (or on a slightly delayed basis) by Telemadrid for the Spanish TV audience.
The participation of Internacional in this benefit match supplements the support given by the Spanish government to victims of Sendong. The Embassy of Spain in the Philippines earlier announced that Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el desarrollo (Spanish Cooperation Agency for International Development) or AECID will provide about 900,000 Euros in aid to the typhoon victims.
The Philippine Football Federation (PFF) has appointed Richard Joson as the Local Organizing Committee Chairman (LOC) for the event. The LOC will include pre-match activities to remember the victims of Sendong and continue the effort to generate additional support. This will include a Telethon organized by ABS CBN that will be broadcast beginning at 2 pm on match day. The LBC Foundation will provide logistical support to collect donations in kind at Rizal Memorial also on match day. Other event-related activities will be announced when finalized.
Philippines Azkals VS Internacional de Madrid Ticket Prices: Tickets for the match will be made available via the various outlets of Ticketworld and on Ticketworld.com.ph beginning 4 pm on Monday, January 2nd. Ticket prices will range from P100 (plus taxes and other charges) to P500.
