Swiss league offers goal-aid for refugee crisis
Swiss League is donating €455 per goal
Lausanne - Arab Today
The Swiss League is donating 455 euros ($513) for each goal scored in the first and second divisions this weekend to help the refugee crisis.
In the last round of matches a total of 29 goals were scored in the two leagues.
"Last season around 50 nations were represented in the Swiss Football League," federation president Heinrich Schifferle said on Friday.
"Our clubs know on a daily basis the real meaning of the words integration and solidarity," he added.
Fans either at matches or watching from home are also invited to make a contribution with all the proceeds raised going to Swiss charity 'Chaine du Bonheur'.
The Swiss initiative follows similar fund-raising initiatives from clubs, players and federations across Europe.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
