The club revealed that the match will be streamed live on VillaTV and will raise money for Acorns Hospice. This charity FIFA match was set up as Villa were scheduled to play Wolves in the Premier League this weekend. However, with all professional football currently suspended for the foreseeable future, that fixture has now been replaced with this charity FIFA match with a player from each side representing their club. As this announcement emerged on Twitter, it gathered a lot of reaction from Villa fans who were excited about the upcoming match.

What do we think?

It’s great to see both clubs getting together and coming up with an idea that can get their fans interacting with the players and see some football being played whilst raising money for charity at the same time.
