The tournament will take place in a "knockout" format, with round-trip matches, with each participant acting from home. The games, which will be played at Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) 2020, will feature professional narrators and commentators. In Band, matches will be shown live within the Open Game program. Broadcaster commentators and narrators will oversee the broadcast, which will also be shown on the cable channel BandSports and on the internet, through UOL and TV NSports.
The public can contribute during the competition with donations. With the help collected, the G10 will assist communities during the pandemic period, helping mainly with food and hygiene, in addition to raising awareness about the care needed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
With the sponsorship of the betting site Betsul, the initiative has as ambassador the former futsal player Falcão and also has the support of some Serie A clubs of the Brazilian Championship, such as Atlético-MG, Ceará, Flamengo, Fortaleza, Grêmio and São Paulo, in addition to the São Paulo Football Federation (FPF) and the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB).
"This is a great opportunity to show how valuable the connection between people is, especially in times of necessary social isolation. A solidarity action such as the ‘All for one’ tournament will reinforce the best in each of us. We are very honored and proud to be able to be part of a project with the potential to positively impact so many people," said Fernando Ribas, CEO of Betsul.
“I believe that 'All for One' fills all sides, it will amuse the fans who are watching and the personalities who are playing. The main purpose is to help. I am sure that this relationship that involves idol and fan to help a cause is perfect for this moment that we are living in. I am very happy to be the ambassador of such a cool project. I am looking forward to starting and to see who will become the champion. I will follow everything and make my comments. May we help many lives," stated Falcão.
"We are very happy to have the chance to be part of this initiative and to be able to contribute to such an urgent and necessary cause. This is a time when unity and perseverance, two of the most striking principles in the Olympic movement, are fundamental for the society as a whole can overcome the difficulties imposed by the pandemic. And, because we identified these principles at the event, which guide the actions of the COB and guide Time Brasil, we made a point of giving our support," highlighted Paulo Wanderley, president COB.
"We are going through an unprecedented challenge. A moment that requires unity and resilience. And being part of a project that aims to contribute to the fight against the pandemic, with so many important partners, is an honor for the São Paulo Football Federation," said Reinaldo Carneiro Bastos, president of the FPF.
The tournament will start on May 11th. So far, names like midfielder Everton Ribeiro (Flamengo) and attacking midfielder Nenê (Fluminense), in addition to comedians Thiago Ventura and Rudy Landucci, have already been confirmed. With the support of the COB, Olympic athletes will also be among the tournament participants.
