Farooq Aftab, Chairman of the Mercy4Mankind Charity Challenge said: “This is the first time we are holding such an event and we hope to raise maximum funds for MK Dons SET. We hope businesses, organisations and others will support and make this event a great success. I would urge anyone who dabbles in the game to sign up, regardless of their ability; they would be made most welcome.”
Dennis Woolford, Inclusion Manager of MK Dons SET said: “MK Dons SET is proud to be working with AMYA to raise money for disability football. Stadium MK, home to MK Dons FC will play host to the inaugural 2017 Football4Peace Cup on Thursday 25th May. This is a round robin 11 a side invitation event organised by AMYA with all proceeds going to MK Dons SET Disability football programme. Our two organisations hope the Football4Peace Cup will become an annual event offering amateur players the opportunity to play on the Stadium MK pitch whilst also raising money for disability players to play football.
