Ronaldo and Zidane charity match live on SuperSport

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 (December 19). The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport on DStv.

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.
