The game will take place at Kuwait’s 60,000-capacity Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium on December 18. The Football Champions Tour helped to organize last month’s Match For Children at Old Trafford, which was held to raise money for David Beckham’s UNICEF fund – the 7 Fund. Scholes, Ronaldinho and Pires all turned out in Manchester.
Legendary Italian referee Perluigi Collina will take charge of the game.
