Andy Murray to Face Roger Federer in "Match for Africa 3"

Oct 13th 2016

On April 10, 2017, Roger Federer and Andy Murray will face off against each other in the Zurich Hallenstadion to raise money for the Roger Federer Foundation.

“I am extremely happy that Andy – one of the best tennis players in the world – immediately agreed to come to Zurich to help raise money for my foundation. However, I'm even happier that I'll finally get to play in front of my fans again next spring,” said Federer.

All of the proceeds from this event will go to the Roger Federer Foundation. The Foundation provides funding to children living in poverty to help them realize their potential. It also supports education projects in seven countries in southern Africa as well as Switzerland. The foundation's programs currently support 275,000  children.
