The first edition of The RA Cup will go down on Thursday, October 20th at the Amsterdam club’s gymnasium, AKA Het Gymlokaal. Eight teams will compete for the trophy, with RA, De School, Dekmantel, Rush Hour, Numbers (whose team includes Jackmaster), 10,000 Hours and The All Stars (with Dixon among the players confirmed). 100% of the money raised will go to Help Refugees, a grassroots organisation set up to help the most vulnerable people reaching Europe’s shores by supporting local groups, charities and volunteers at the front lines. Unconstrained by red tape, politics and bureaucracy, they act fast to effect immediate change and work in places that governments and NGOs can’t.
Members of the public are invited to watch the drama unfold on the day, with entry at €5 per person. As well as the football, there will be a record fair, performances from various DJs and table tennis and table football tables. We’ll be streaming the event live via our Facebook page. Kick-off is at 10:30 AM, with the semi-finals scheduled around 1:30 PM.
