All proceeds from tomorrow's Albirex Niigata vs Etoile S-League clash to go to Japan's earthquake relief efforts

In a bid to do their part for their stricken countrymen, the Japanese side that has plied its trade in the S-League since 2004 have set the wheels in motion to raise funds for the victims back home.

Speaking to MediaCorp yesterday, Albirex Niigata vice-chairman Koh Mui Tee said: "All the proceeds from this Thursday's game against Etoile FC at Jurong East will go towards helping the people of Japan."

Tickets for the match will be priced at S$6 (adult) and S$2 (concession).

MediaCorp understands the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) will waive the 7 per cent levy imposed on a club's collection from matches for this particular game, ensuring Albirex raise as much as possible tomorrow.
