New England Revolution and Chelsea F.C. played a friendly charity match - "Final Whistle on Hate."
Both clubs joined forces to raise awareness and money -- an estimated $4 million -- in the battle against hate and prejudice. The idea for the match was developed by club owners Roman Abramovich (Chelsea) and Robert Kraft (New England) in light of a global rise in antisemitic activity.
All proceeds from the match will be donated to 15 organizations dedicated to combatting antisemitism and discrimination. In addition, Abramovich and Kraft will each donate $1 million in support of the cause.
