Don't miss Ronaldo-Zidane charity match



Forty international players, past and present, will join UN goodwill ambassadors Ronaldo and Zinédine Zidane in a star-studded line-up at the tenth annual Match Against Poverty, backed by Uefa and taking place in Brazil on Wednesday night.

The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The match has been organised to raise awareness of global development challenges and funds through ticket sales, sponsorship and broadcast rights to support projects to help reduce poverty in Brazil and Africa.

The match is already a sell-out, and will be refereed by former Italian referee and current Uefa chief refereeing officer Pierluigi Collina.
