Collina to referee charity match

Italian referee Pierluigi Collina will take charge of the "Football for Hope" benefit match to raise money for victims of the Asian tsunami, FIFA said on Monday.

Assistant referees Mohamed Saeed from the Maldives and Jason Joseph Damoo from the Seychelles have been specifically chosen for the match at Barcelona's Nou Camp on February 15 because their islands were badly hit by the disaster on December 26.

A team led by FIFA world player of the year Ronaldinho will face a side captained by European footballer of the year Andriy Shevchenko in the charity match.
