The View from Fez sports editor, Dominick Nisbett, reports:
On Monday, Nov. 17, the Complex Sportive situated on the road to Sefrou in Fes, Morocco, will play host to an international collection of soccer superstars joining forces in the name of charity, with all the action airing live and exclusively on Fox Soccer Channel.
The sixth-annual Match Against Poverty promotes an initiative to cut worldwide poverty in half by 2015 through the United Nations Development Programme's Millennium Development Goals.
Following a press conference, the match itself will be kicking off at 6:00 p.m, with captains Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo leading out two star-studded teams. Stars confirmed to appear include: Victor Valdes and Seydou Keita (FC Barcelona), Anatoliy Tymoshchuk (Zenit St. Petersburg), Joseba Etxeberria (AthleticoBilbao), Ivan Leko (Club Brugge) and Lauren (Portsmouth).
Last year's match featured the likes of Robinho, William Gallas and Robert Pires, and with players continuing to sign up as match day approaches, this year's Match Against Poverty promises to be another milestone event for a great cause.
Tickets can be purchased for between Dh 50-200 (Euros 5-20) at various kiosks/newsagents in town or by sending an e-mail to: billets@publisport21Please note that due to security arrangements, ticket holders should be at the stadium before 4:30pm.

Hi Does TVFF know if it is possible to buy tickets for the Jazz Festival at the door?
If not where?
How much do they cost?
Dominick
thanks for info
can you say somewhere specific where there is one of the kiosks where the tickets can be bought, and what is the difference between the differently priced tickets. Do you recommend any one part of the stadium to sit in.
Thanks
Dom. Too cool,bro. Now what about a surfing story? :)
They surf in Fez? Deadly! Awesome!
Are these tickets more expensive than normal? And does the money really go to charity?
Kamal
hi Jade.
There is surfing in Essaouira and windsurfing.
Hi Fred
True to form, there seems to be very little information available on the Jazz Festival in Fez. As far as we can tell, you can buy tickets at the door of Riad Mnebhi and Riad Shéhérazade. There will also be free concerts at Boujloud Square.
Dominick has filled the one gap in The View from Fez's otherwise fab coverage of Morocco. Thanks Dominick, keep the stories coming.
