The football greats spent time playing a game of goal ball with the special children.

Goal ball is a game specially designed for the visually-impaired in which the sighted can also participate with the use of blindfolds.

The children are ardent football fans and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity allowed them to rub shoulders with the international stars and compete against each other in a friendly match.

Standard Chartered has been continually supportive of the school which has been part of its SIB initiative. The event showcased the spirit and potential of these children who have always managed to beat the odds.

Four teams competing in the tournament will be Liverpool Masters, Manchester United Masters, EPL All Stars Masters and the Malaysian Masters.
