Right To Play World Cup Event Outstanding Success

On May 23rd 2008, Right To Play UK raised a staggering £120,000 at the Right To Play World Cup held at Stamford Bridge, the home of Chelsea F.C.

14 teams from across London came together for a day-long football tournament on the hallowed turf of one of the world’s leading football sides. They played with passion, with skill (some of the time!), and they played in the knowledge that the money they paid to enter would make a meaningful difference to children from the most disadvantaged communities around the world, thanks to the work of Right To Play.

Thank you to everyone who made the day possible. If you would like learn more about how join the 2009 World Cup and be part of one of the UK’s most exciting charity football events, email Mike Emery at memery@righttoplay.com
