IDRF will be hosting a 7 on 7 men’s soccer charity match in Ottawa to raise funds to build a water well in Yemen.

Bring your best players to ring in the new year, and join us on December 31. Spots are limited to 6 teams in total.

* Proof of double vaccination required

Yemen is one of the most water-stressed countries in the world. With poor hygiene conditions and a lack of necessary equipment, health institutions in Yemen have been overwhelmed by Cholera and Polio outbreaks. You and your team could help make a collective change today.

Every Goal Counts to win a tournament and Every Drop Counts to fill a well.

It’s simple to participate:

• Step 1: Register below
• Step 2: Meet us at this location

Age Requirement:18+
