ANNUAL UN CHARITY FOOTBALL MATCH WILL BENEFIT PHILIPPINES TYPHOON
RECOVERY EFFORTSNew York, Dec 20 2013 5:00PMProceeds from the annual
United Nations all-star charity football game, led by legends Ronaldo
and Zinédine Zidane and which will be held next March in Switzerland,
will benefit recovery efforts in the Philippines in the wake of
Typhoon Haiyan, the world body has announced.

Ronaldo and Zidane – who are Goodwill Ambassadors for the UN
Development Programme (UNDP) – will mobilize their team of
internationally renowned football players for a friendly game against
the Bern professional football club, the BSC Young Boys and Friends,
for the 11th Match Against Poverty, slated for 4 March.

"Through the 11th edition in Bern we hope to be able to raise both
awareness and funds for the people in need in the Philippines," said
Zidane. "Working together in support of the victims of Typhoon Haiyan,
we will all be winners in the Match Against Poverty."

Two thirds of the match proceeds will be used to bolster recovery
efforts in the Philippines, where more than 5,000 people lost their
lives to Typhoon Haiyan, with almost 1 million people displaced and an
estimated further 11.8 million affected, UNDP said in a
<"http://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/presscenter/pressreleases/2013/12/19/switzerland-to-host-undp-goodwill-ambassadors-ronaldo-and-zin-dine-zidane-in-11th-annual-match-against-poverty.html">news
release.

To bolster the local economy, UNDP has already begun a cash-for-work
project clearing debris in Tacloban, the worst affected area, and will
continue its efforts to help those who have lost homes, businesses and
jobs as a result of the typhoon.

"Our goal is to dedicate the proceeds of this 11th Match Against
Poverty to help survivors rebuild their lives and help the Philippines
on a path to recovery," said UNDP Administrator Helen Clark. "As the
Philippines works to recover from this terrible tragedy, UNDP is there
in support and to help strengthen the nation's resilience to future
shocks."

Zidane and Ronaldo have been the driving force behind the match since
its inception in 2003. Proceeds from previous matches have benefited
projects in dozens of developing countries, including recovery efforts
in the wake of the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the response to the food
crisis in the Horn of Africa.

"Last year we celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Match in Brazil
and I am still very proud of its success. I am honoured that clubs
such as BSC Young Boys have offered to host the event," said Ronaldo,
who is now a key member of the FIFA World Cup 2014 Organizing
Committee.

"This year we are concerned about the situation in the Philippines and
we would like to help through the match to the global fundraising
efforts for the country," he added.

BSC Young Boys will donate the remaining third of the profits to the
club's partner charity, the Laureus Foundation Switzerland. The
Foundation provides financial and practical support to sports-related
projects at the national level, and is part of the global Laureus
Sport For Good Foundation, which supports over 140 projects in 34
countries around the world.

Previous editions of the Match Against Poverty – which will be
televised globally and is supported by both football's governing body,
the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), and the
Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) – have been held in
Madrid, Dusseldorf, Marseille, Malaga, Fes, Lisbon, Athens, Hamburg,
and Porto Alegre.

Ronaldo and Zidane are part of a distinguished group of UNDP Goodwill
Ambassadors that includes fellow football stars Didier Drogba, Iker
Casillas and Marta Vieira de Silva in addition to other world-renowned
personalities.Dec 20 2013 5:00PM
