Football for Hope was a FIFA-sponsored football match played between a World XI and a European XI on February 15, 2005 at the Nou Camp stadium, Barcelona in support of the relief effort after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami disaster.

The Match

The game itself, which was watched by some 35,000 spectators, was a typical charity affair with a predictable pace, although the fans were entertained by a feast of goals.
