The Qatar Stars League will give all the money raised from the game’s ticket sales which will be played on Tuesday the 13th of January to the stricken people of Syria.

With reports of children in Syria dying due to the recent cold weather in the country, the Qatar Stars League felt it was important to try and help in any way possible.

Two Syrian refugee babies died from the cold over the weekend on the rugged outskirts of the Lebanese border town of Arsal, where thousands of Syrians are living in unheated tents in freezing temperatures. An elderly man also succumbed to the terrible conditions.

The capacity of the Abdullah bin Khalifa stadium is approximately 7,500 and the tickets sales of the spectator seats will be donated after the match.

Mr. Ahmed Al Harmi, the QSL’s Executive Director of Competition & Football Development said, “What happened recently has saddened us all and the conditions that these people are living in are particularly harsh and difficult. With this exhibition match the Qatar Stars League is trying to help in some small way.”

He added “The proceeds from the ticket sales will be giving to Qatar Charity who will help the people in this refugee camp in Lebanon; our prayers and condolences go out to the families of the recently departed children.”

The Qatar Stars – FC Bayern Munich match will kick-off tomorrow at the Abdulla bin Khalifa stadium at 20:05, the home of Lekhwiya Sports Club.
