The Manchester United Foundation and Australian charity Telethon formed a partnership with Inclusion Solutions ahead of Tour 2019, to fund a programme that gives physically and intellectually disabled children the opportunity to integrate with able-bodied children by playing football.
Almost 12,000 tickets at a price of $5 were purchased by interstate and international fans from 26 different countries, which means a massive amount of money has been raised by the event.
It was the first of several events that have been organised by the MU Foundation on Tour 2019, with a gala dinner scheduled for Thursday evening and a charity golf day also happening on Friday.
