Bale creates FIFA tournament to raise funds for fight against the coronavirus

Gareth Bale has launched an initiative to assist efforts to tackle the coronavirus outbreak.

The Welshman has created a FIFA tournament to raise funds and contribute in the fight against the pandemic.

Along with fellow football players, Luke Shaw and Daniel James, they will broadcast their games online and the income will be generated through the viewers' visits.

Chelsea players Mason Mount, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Billy Gilmour will participate in the tournament along with Everton's Jordan Pickford and Dominic Calvert-Lewin with Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney also taking part.

Meanwhile, the 20 LaLiga Santander sides will be represented by one participant in another FIFA tournament which will kick off on Friday.
