Shield proceeds to go for fire victims

Proceeds from August’s FA Community Shield match between EPl winners Chelsea and FA Cup winners Arsenal will be donated to the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire, English FA has said.

“We hope that in some small way through the Community Shield we can help,” FA chairman Greg Clarke said. “Two great London clubs will come together to play at the city’s most famous stadium just a few miles from Kensington. They will be united in their passion for football, grief at this tragic loss and support for their community.
