The Fort Lauderdale Strikers will play in an exhibition soccer match against several notable international tennis superstars, including Rafa Nadal, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic, on Wednesday March 23rd at 7 P.M. The match will be held at Ransom Everglades High School, 3575 Main Highway, Miami, FL 33133.

“We are all touched and affected by the devastation caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.  Through this cooperative effort, with many of the world’s greatest tennis players, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers hope to host an unforgettable soccer showcase for our community and fans as we extend our hearts and hands toward our friends in the Land of the Rising Sun.  Raising money for the Red Cross Relief Fund while entertaining fans on the pitch is just another reason soccer is considered The Beautiful Game.” Said Commercial Director Tommy Knapp. 

Eleven ATP tennis stars will come together to play against the Strikers to raise money for Japan and their relief efforts. All proceeds and donations from the match will go directly to the Red Cross and their ongoing efforts to help Japan. This match was organized by the tennis players out of concern for the people of Japan affected by this tragedy.

The Strikers will also sell season tickets and single game tickets to their home opener on April 9th at Lockhart Stadium at this event. Fifty percent of all ticket revenues generated through sales at this event will be donated to the Red Cross to benefit the relief effort.

“I am very concerned for the people of Japan and think it is only right that we do whatever we can to help those in need.  I would love to see all of Miami support both events by showing up at the Ransom Everglades High School soccer field at 7:00 pm to cheer on your favorite team and attending the dinner afterward,” said Novak.
