Clubs to launch European Solidarity Cup

Madrid: Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan will stage a new competition called the ‘European Solidarity Cup’ in 2021 to raise money for medical facilities in Italy and Spain.
The three clubs will play each other in a round-robin group, with Inter against Bayern held in Milan, Real facing Inter in Madrid and Bayern hosting Real in Munich. Proceeds from the fixtures will be donated to medical facilities in Italy and Spain.
The aim is “to send out a message of solidarity and fraternity to the people of Europe”, said a statement from Real Madrid. Dates for the tournament have not been decided.
The timing will “depend on the match calendar and when football can be played in front of fans again”, the clubs said. (AFP)
