15 December 2003: UNDP Goodwill Ambassadors Ronaldo and Zinédine Zidane, along with such stars as England's captain David Beckham and Brazilians Rivaldo and Roberto Carlos, raised more than US$800,000 for anti-poverty projects in developing countries at a soccer match in Basel, Switzerland. Thanking the players, UNDP Administrator Mark Malloch Brown said: "By sharing their time and talents, they have made a great difference towards winning the match against poverty."
Actively supported by FIFA, the match took place after the 2003 World Player Gala, during which Zinedine Zidane was awarded World Player of the Year.

 FIFA’s President, Joseph S. Blatter says “FIFA is very pleased to support this initiative as a further effort in our corporate social responsibilities with various UN organizations and others to help disadvantaged people, including children. This match against poverty is remarkable because the wish to organize it came from two of the most outstanding players in the world.”
“It’s a real thrill to have my friends join me to raise awareness and take a stand against the deprivation that plagues one fifth of the world’s population,” said Ronaldo.
