Reflecting on the success of the event, Yianni Mavromoustakos shared his gratitude.

“This year’s charity match exceeded all expectations – it was everything we hoped for and more. From the players and volunteers to the incredible crowd and celebrity supporters, everyone played a part in making it a truly special day,” Yianni told The Greek Herald.

“Beyond the game itself, the overwhelming sense of community stood out most prevalently. There was a genuine warmth in the air as family, friends, and even strangers came together for an incredible cause. I can’t wait to see this event continue to grow as we use this platform to make a real difference for those less fortunate.”

His brother, Chrisos, echoed this sentiment, emphasising the impact of community support.

“This year’s charity match was an amazing success, and we are so grateful for the support of the community, sponsors, and our awesome volunteers who make this event possible,” Chrisos said.

“We look forward to next year’s event and hope to continue supporting Bishop Themi’s crucial work in Africa with continued support. I look forward to 2026!”

The Mavromoustakos brothers’ Charity Football Match continues to grow in scale and impact each year, with organisers already looking ahead to 2026.

With community spirit, passion for football, and a shared commitment to philanthropy, this event has cemented itself as a highlight on the charity sports calendar.
