'''Football for Hope''' was a [[FIFA]]-sponsored [[association football|football]] match played between the [[Ronaldinho]] XI team and the [[Andriy Shevchenko|Shevchenko]] XI team on 15 February 2005 at the [[Camp Nou]] in [[Barcelona]] in support of the [[Humanitarian response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake|relief effort]] after the [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake|2004 Indian Ocean tsunami disaster]]. 

Organised by FIFA and [[UEFA]] in consultation with the [[Royal Spanish Football Federation]], and with support from [[FC Barcelona]], who provided their stadium and staff free of charge, this benefit match for the victims of the tsunami saw an XI led by Ronaldinho, the 2004 [[FIFA World Player of the Year]], beat a team captained by Andriy Shevchenko, the 2004 [[European Footballer of the Year]], by six [[Goal (sport)|goal]]s to three.

FIFA hoped to raise £7&nbsp;million in support of the tsunami victims, around a third through the game itself. All proceeds from the Football For Hope match went to the FIFA/Asian Football Confederation Tsunami Solidarity Fund.

In 2011, FIFA won the Sport for Health Award at the [[Beyond Sport#Awards|Beyond Sport Awards]] ceremony.<ref>{{cite web|title=Beyond Sport Community Awards|url=http://www.beyondsport.org/the-awards/awards2011/entries/winners.php|work=Beyond Sport|accessdate=1 March 2013}}</ref>

==The match==
The game itself, which was watched by some 35,000 spectators, was a typical charity affair with a predictable pace, although the fans were entertained by a feast of goals. 

[[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]]'s [[Samuel Eto'o]] and [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]]'s [[Henri Camara]] both scored two goals, which, along with strikes from [[Ronaldinho]] and the [[South Korea national football team|South Korean]] [[Cha Du-ri]], helped the FIFA World Player of the Year's team to victory. [[Alessandro Del Piero]], [[Gianfranco Zola]] and [[David Suazo]] scored for Andriy Shevchenko's side.
