(Thessia/APU Press) Asari Pildavi Union (APU) president Dania Cluscy revealed to the press the league’s plan to host a charity match on Earth this season.

“We are very pleased to announce that we have the event fixed. It is going to take place on Matchday Eight (Dec. 15, local Earth calendar) with the pairing of the Lymetis Zeolites against the Asteria Astros and will be regular points awarding league match. We have found the most exciting venue for this to take place as well, the historic human sports fields of Olympia in the region of Greece.

There will a temporary traditional pildavi field with sand surface, as we also value our sports tradition very highly. This is an acknowledgement of humanity’s long history of sport bringing various cultures together in peace. We are especially happy to bring Ms. Jilal, our very first human player, to Earth alongside the Astros, and I sincerely hope this will be a definite reason to go see this match. The facility will feature movable antigrav grandstands and we are currently planning to have at least 100,000 tickets available, with some of them being reserved for handicapped veterans and other selected persons from our partnering charity organizations.

This match will be a 100% charity; all revenue from ticketing will go to a variety of reconstruction and relief organizations operating on Earth, and specifically towards the human reconstruction efforts. There will be opportunities to donate and a percentage of the merchandise sales will also be donated. Please watch out for our further announcements on our charity partners and more details on the event.

On behalf of the APU, we thank our human fans for their interest in our sport and this is one way for us to give you something back.

So stay tuned for a more detailed look on our charity activities closer to the event. Tickets are already available on the APU [extranet website] exclusively.”

Fatmira Jilal, a human player with the Asteria Astros, commented via extranet posting: “I have already had my dream come true by playing in the league at all, and now I get a chance to play on Earth, the homeworld of my species. This is the most exciting time in my life and I so look forward to see you all down there! I will give it all I have, people! Come and support the activities the league has in place, they are worth it.”

I'm going to try and get leave for this. Anything to support Ms. Jilal and the charities.

...You know what. Fuck It. I'll try and go too. I have about two weeks holiday time, I can go to Greece for a few days.

oh, wow, I have heard rumors about it but it's a bit of a surprise in the first season already. I guess that human player had some additional pull.

Icarus, Mombasa, I hope you can make it there!
I won't be able to, but that location sounds awesome.

Wow - Olympia too, that's like the Earth equivalent of the Serrice Fields, isn't it? Jilal must be feeling on top of the galaxy right now, to be finally playing the sport she's wanted to, and now the honour of being invited back to Earth to play on their sacred ground. Can't get much better for a sportswoman, really.

...have to see if Eafina's still got that sports bar plan for Apricity's new wing, this'd be a good trial run to set up in the lounge for an evening, see how people respond to it.

Daia, that would be a lovely occasion! Actually you know what's best alongside it? I have checked the APU's database and guess what... it's Wilkats vs. Pulsars on that same day but due to planetary time zone that on-ball will only half an hour after the Earth-match is over. A perferct double header afternoon, Nos Astra Time.
