The match will take place at the Nou Camp stadium in Barcelona on February 15.
The cream of world football will grace the two teams taking part: the first led by FIFA World Player 2004, Ronaldinho, the other by European Footballer of the Year 2004, Andriy Shevchenko.
Ronaldinho’s side will be coached by Carlos Alberto Parreira (Brazil) and Frank Rijkaard (Netherlands), while Marcello Lippi (Italy) and Arsene Wenger (France) will take charge of the Ukrainian striker's line-up.
The list of players will be confirmed in due course.
All proceeds from the “Football for Hope” match will be donated to the FIFA/AFC Tsunami Solidarity Fund, set up jointly by FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
Mediapro of Spain will act as host broadcaster free of charge and Globecast of France will handle signal distribution, also free of charge. The distribution and sale of TV rights will be organised and handled by FIFA, with all fees going to the FIFA/AFC fund.
Meanwhile, The Tiger Woods Foundation is giving $100,000 to the relief effort, and the PGA Tour is matching that amount.
