Football enthusiasts, mark your calendars. On April 20, the iconic Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam will see the BIF All Stars go up against the revered Ajax Legends in an exhibition match.
The BIF All Stars are a new collective of football champions of African descent and beyond, including Didier Drogba, Claude Makélélé, Clarence Seedorf, Nader El Sayed, Christian Karembeu, Dida, Roque Junior and others. They will take on the formidable Ajax Legends, featuring Aron Winter, Jari Litmanen, Wesley Sneijder, Richard Witschge, Maxwell, Shota Arveladze, Frank and Ronald de Boer, among others.
Organised under the banner of the Play To Unite initiative, by the Black Impact Foundation (BIF), the showdown between two powerhouse teams will be the ultimate display of unity, sportsmanship and camaraderie. The Olympic Stadium, steeped in sporting history and grandeur, will serve as the perfect backdrop for this occasion.
The initiative extends beyond the stadium walls to a social side programme with a particular focus on youth and community engagement and empowerment. Local youth will have the opportunity to meet and interact with their sporting heroes on match day.
The proceeds from the event will be dedicated to advancing sports, scholarship, mentorship, health and community building programmes.
