Brazilian midfielder Kaka and retired soccer star Zinedine Zidane
are to play an exhibition game in Lisbon on Jan. 25 to raise money
for earthquake-hit Haiti.
The Match Against Poverty is being organized by the United
Nations Development Programme and Portuguese club Benfica, which
will host the game at its Stadium of Light.
Benfica announced Monday that Real Madrid's Kaka will line up
with former Juventus midfielder Pavel Nedved and Spain's Fernando
Hierro against a team of Benfica All Stars.
The UN has estimated that 3 million Haitians were affected by
last week's quake and 2 million require food assistance.
