Here’s your chance to score a goal for charity and benefit a worthy cause in the GoFor24 ultimate charity football challenge.
The event will take place tomorrow and Saturday in the nation’s capital with all proceeds going to Operation Smile UAE, providing life-changing surgery for children born with cleft lip and cleft palate.
The unique concept will see the tournament run for 24 hours at the Emirates Palace. The host team will play for the full duration as they take on challenger after challenger in one-hour matches.
There’s still time to sign up and show your skills on the football pitch, but spaces are running out fast.
“The response has once again been fantastic so we only have a few more places for our challenger teams – our advice is for them to get in quick by heading to our website www.GoFor24.com,” said John Hassan, founder of GoFor24.
“What we are looking for are some passionate players to get a team together and sign up for what will be no ordinary game of football – in just one hour they can change lives. Through the donations made by their team, Operation Smile will be able to perform surgery on needy children.”
Operation Smile, along with GoFor24, believe that “Every Child Deserves a Smile”. These children are born with cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities that make it difficult to speak, socialise, eat and drink – which can cause life-threatening malnutrition.
