\Singapore: Hidetoshi Nakata’s Take Action Foundation has teamed up with Singapore’s S.League to raise funds for the Japanese earthquake and tsunami relief efforts.
Among the events planned is a charity match between an S.League all stars select and a host Japanese football legends – led by former Roma, Parma and Fiorentina superstar Nakata – Japanese S.League players and members of Albirex Niigata Singapore, the satellite club of the J.League side.
The match is scheduled to take place on April 2 at Jalan Besar Stadium.
“We have seen the earthquake and tsunami render unimaginable damage on the lives of our Japanese friends,” said FAS President Zainudin Nordin.
“Many have already given generously to support the ongoing relief efforts and we are also doing our part, through the ‘S.League Cares, Take Action with Albirex Niigata Singapore’ series of events.
“Given the Great Eastern-YEO's S.League's close association with Albirex Niigata Singapore and their steadfast support of the FAS since the club's debut in the competition in 2004, it is only right that the S.League is showing support and solidarity to its Japanese brothers.”
“We have always maintained close ties with the Japanese community through Albirex and we want to present a camaraderie that can only be found in football.”
