This star-studded football event has an aim to raise over €1 million for vital charitable causes. Organizers of the match are looking to support communities affected by war, conflict, and social hardships through donations towards organizations like the Ukrainian Red Cross, Portuguese Red Cross, International Alert, and Caritas Portugal.
