Mavromoustakos brothers unite for a cause: Charity Football Match returns in 2025

·

The annual Charity Football Match is back for its 6th year, and brothers Yianni and Chrisos Mavromoustakos are once again stepping onto the pitch to raise money for children in need across Africa.

Taking place on Sunday, 19 January 2025, from 5pm at Seymour Shaw Stadium in Miranda, Sydney, the event promises a thrilling football showdown with a heartwarming purpose.

Funds raised during the match will support Paradise 4 Kids, a charity dedicated to aiding the vital missionary work of Greek Australian Bishop Themi Adamopoulos in Africa. The organisation focuses on providing food, clothing, and education to those in need.

Ahead of the big day, The Greek Herald spoke with Chrisos to learn more about the inspiration behind the event and what attendees can look forward to.

“Hosting a Charity Football Match created the perfect platform for bringing people together and making a positive impact while raising money for an amazing cause,” Chrisos said.

“We are deeply inspired by Bishop Themi’s dedication and the significant positive change he has brought to African communities. We are honoured and thrilled to support his efforts. Paradise 4 Kids ensures that almost all funds go directly to their charitable causes, with only a small portion used for administrative costs.”

The day itself promises to be a vibrant community event. Attendees can enjoy free food, free entry, live commentary, performances, and more. The event is open to people of all ages.

“This year we are honoured with the addition of guest and celebrity appearances, both on and off the pitch. With musician Timomatic and former professional footballer George Timotheou joining us, there will also be new, exciting prizes and half-time entertainment from local footballers,” Chrisos added.

Don’t miss the chance to be part of this impactful event. Head to Seymour Shaw Stadium in Miranda on 19 January 2024, and join Yianni, Chrisos, and their teams in making a difference for those who need it most. Find out more here.
