Teams of six will play a total of 25 20-minute matches over almost 12 hours at Les Quennevais Sports Centre during the sixth annual Jersey Football Marathon for Tackle Africa, an HIV and AIDS awareness and education charity which supports people in sub-Saharan Africa.
John Gamble, who has organised the event, said: ‘It’s certainly a tough endurance event but it’s so much fun too. Most players are returning from previous years and a couple have played in football marathon events in the UK too.’
The event is due to start at 8 am.
