Charlie Williams, one of the organizers of the match, said in an earlier interview that the match would be a chancefor the large South Korean community in the Philippines to help those affected by the tropical storm.
“It’s an opportunity for Koreans living in the Philippines to join and support the cause and the sport, which is growing by leaps and bounds,” Williams said.
The Icheon Citizens is one of the teams in the Challengers League, the top amateur league in South Korea. Williams said that the team is composed of top rookies and seasoned professional players.
It will be the second charity match played by a selection composed of Azkals players this month. On January 7, a Philippine selection dropped a 3-0 result to CF Internacional de Madrid.
