Porto president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, issued a public letter to Uefa president Michel Platini on Friday, asking the 32 clubs in the Champions League to give up a percentage of their gate receipts from the first two games.
The Letter read: ‘Porto, through Uefa, would like to invite the 31 clubs currently in the group stage of the Champions League to donate one euro per ticket sold for the first two match days. Let’s play for the migrants!’
With the refugee crisis sweeping through Europe and the world in the past few months and few EU countries closing their borders to refugees, European clubs are taking steps to help the victims. Dortmund and Bayern Munich fans were seen holding up banners in support of the refugees with messages such as “Refugees Welcome”. Bayern and Celtic have pledged to make Donations to the victims.
Fair play to Fc Porto with this good initiative.
#Let’s play for the migrants!’
This is such an awesome move by FC Porto, Platini should please approve this.
