Corby Muslim Association to host fundraising football tournament for second year running
Corby Muslim Association has organised a football tournament to raise money for their mosque for the second year running.
The tournament is being held at Tresham College (Corby campus) and will be kicking off at 11.30am on Sunday, October 27.
The tournament has so far seen 57 people sign up to play but Corby Muslim Association (CMA) are hopeful that number will increase by the time of the event.
CMA chairman Eyusuf Chaudhury said: “After a tremendous tournament last year, Corby Muslim Association would like to invite you once again to show your support towards the upcoming Corby Community Charity Shield.
“This is an opportunity to unite the community and together we can help to raise some funding at the same time for our Masjid too.
“Each player may donate £20 or more and play for the Masjid. Therefore if anyone is interested to be a part of this deedful cause then kindly contact the CMA management team so we can add and register you on the CMA Football Tournament WhatsApp Group.
“Your support is really essential to us and it will be highly appreciated if this can be successful.”
Through events like this, the CMA is hoping to raise £105,000, in order to complete some refurbishment work to Corby Central Masjid.
Last year’s event, which saw Bengal Ballers FC become reigning champions, managed to raise £1,640 for the mosque.
The tournament has been sponsored by many local businesses, including Mias, Baltic Supermarket, Voujon, The Spice Lounge, Royal Tandoori, Taste of India, Zizou, Shepherd & Co, and Rutland Balti House.
