Petrolex Kanu Cup 2018
The Kanu Heart Foundation is a heart non-governmental charity, providing life-saving heart treatments for children and adults in Nigeria and across Africa. Since its launch in 2000, the foundation has funded open-heart surgeries for over 500 patients in need. Their latest fund-raising event sees KHF partnering with Masters Football in a one-off legends football game.
Founded by Arsenal and Nigeria legend, Nwankwo Kanu, KHF is aiming to raise $35M to build the new cardiac centre in Abuja, Nigeria where they can successfully treat those in need and avoid costly travel and accommodation fees for sick children and their families.
Kicking off on Sunday 30th September 2018 at the HIVE stadium in Barnet, the Petrolex Kanu Cup in association with Masters Football, will see fan favourites take to the pitch once more. A star-studded line up has been announced with the following players confirmed:
Premier League Masters: Jens Lehmann, Nigel Winterburn, Sol Campbell, William Gallas, Pascal Chimbonda, Steve McManaman, Robert Pires, Jonathan Greening, David Thompson, Teddy Sheringham, Louis Saha and Emile Heskey
African Masters: Rami Shaaban, Lauren, Emmanuel Eboue, Danny Shittu, Christopher Kanu, Quinton fortune, Eric Djemba-Djemba, Jay Jay Okocha, Yakubu, Lomana Lua Lua and Kanu
Having suffered from heart problems throughout his career as a professional footballer, Kanu has first-hand experience of the devastating impact heart disease can have on lives. His foundation seeks to raise the profile of heart diseases in Africa and increase awareness through education, improving the quality of physical and psychological care for patients and their families and undertaking vital research.
“If I wasn’t lucky enough to have access to such an amazing medical team when I experienced a serious heart defect, I might not be here today. I set up the Kanu Heart Foundation to help others in the same position who are less fortunate…
“The new cardiac centre in Abuja will help hundreds of people get access to vital heart treatment without having to travel abroad. I am proud that so many amazing ex-pros will be joining me in the Petrolex Masters Cup in association with Masters Football – it will be an amazing day and great help for the charity.” (Kanu)
