Who are we? - Thank you for taking time to visit our JustGiving page. Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA), in collaboration with British Red Cross, is holding a 24-hour football match to raise funds for charity in support of the victims of CYCLONE IDAI. The event is part of an ongoing effort by AMYA to raise funds for charities in its Mercy4Mankind Charity Challenge.
Enough about ourselves, what is the event? - The event will see 48 teams, players of all ages and abilities take part in the 24 hour, non-stop football marathon at PlayFootball Birmingham Indoor. Each game will last for 1 hour with no breaks and continuous football played for 24 hours.
Great! When is it? - 6th July 2019 @ 6pm till 7th July 2019 @ 6pm
How can I get involved? - You can either take part by registering your team for a 1-hour slot via http://www.mercy4mankind.org/events/24h-football-fundraiser or you can support this cause with a donation on this page!
