IFR Champions Cup Raises Huge Fund for Puttinu Cares and ALS Malta

The IFR Champions Cup, co-sponsored by Betsoft Gaming, has raised a record fund of €13,000 for Puttinu Cares, an organisation that helps families cope with cancer and ALS Malta, a Motor Neurone Disease (MND) charity.

IFR was set up by close friends Nikola Vasovic, Andrew Micallef Trigona, Nora Schembri and Yiannis Paraskevas, with the aim of organising a series of premium events from which the proceeds would be donated to nominated local charities.

The winning team won the prestigious IFR Champions Trophy as well as flights, accommodation and entry into next year’s Moscow Continental Football League, the world’s largest eight-a-side mini-football tournament.

“We’re thrilled to have played our part in supporting this fantastic local event and we hope it will now go from strength-to-strength and continue to raise valuable funds for the wonderful charities we have here in Malta,” Annamaria Anastasi, Marketing Director Betsoft Gaming said.

“It was a very entertaining weekend, with a great standard of football, and plenty of fun and entertainment in aid of Puttinu Cares and ALS Malta. We’ve raised a fantastic sum of money for both charities and I’d like to thank our sponsors including Betsoft who played an important role in contributing to this event that we hope to repeat year after year,” Nikola Vasovic, co-founder of the IFR event said.
