As Russia continues to invade Ukraine, efforts are being made to raise funds each time a player scores a goal at a futsal tournament held in Konan City, Shiga Prefecture, in an attempt to support Ukraine.
This fund-raising activity was started by the Shiga Prefecture Futsal Federation to help Ukrainian people suffering from the invasion by Russia, and one player scored one goal in the futsal prefectural tournament match that started in Konan City on the 13th. Every time we decide, we are calling for fundraising of one coin = one coin.
At the stadium where the tournament is held, a panel with the words "1 goal, 1 coin" and a donation box are placed at the entrance of the court, and the players who scored goals in the match donate 100 yen coins one after another. Was there.
The fundraising will be used to support the lives of people evacuating from Ukraine through NPOs.
A man in his thirties who made a donation said, "I scored one goal today, so I made a donation with the hope that the war would end soon."
Yoshiharu Kazuki, chairman of the Shiga Futsal Federation, said, "I hope the war will end soon and children will be able to enjoy sports safely."
This donation will continue for the duration of the tournament until the 24th of next month.
