Around 300 young footballers from 12 nurseries contributed around €12,000 to this year’s L-Istrina by participating in a friendly football session, co-organised by Eurosport and the Malta Community Chest Fund.

Eurosport, which donated an additional €10,000 to L-Istrina, brought together a number of nurseries involved in the Youth FA to participate in the third edition of the fun event.

“Eurosport is proud to have contributed once again to the country’s biggest charitable event by involving such a large number of young footballers to do their part,” said Peresso Group CEO Christina Peresso.

Under the patronage of Pre­sident George Abela, the event was held last Sunday at St Aloysius College and Infetti Grounds, both in Birkirkara.

Intentionally non-competitive, the event aims to give children the opportunity to practise the sport they enjoy while raising money for people in need.
