Fifa is in the process of organising a charity football match to help raise funds for the fight against coronavirus.

Gianni Infantino, president of world football’s governing body, says the match will take place when global health conditions allow.

“Further details of this unique event, including the location, date, participants and format will be announced by the Fifa Foundation in due course,” said Youri Djorkaeff, the foundation’s chief executive.

The former France midfielder added: “Various scenarios and plans are currently under consideration, all of which are in line with health and other relevant guidelines from respective governments and international organizations.”

The intention is to raise funds for Access to Covid-19 Tools, a WHO initiative that aims to ensure treatments, vaccines and diagnostics are accessible to all.
