The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF)have moved to make the broadcast rights for the upcoming Brazil versus Colombia friendly free on a global basis. The game between the South American nations was organised to benefit the Brazilian club Chapecoense, who were the victims of tragedy in November 2016.
Nineteen Chapecoense footballers were killed in a plane accident ahead of their Copa Sudamericana first leg against Colombian opponents Atletico Nacional.
Revenue generated from the international friendly will be distributed to Chapecoense, who will use it to compensate the families of any Club personnel affected by the tragedy.
The CBF have announced that the game will be made freely available to broadcasters to increase awareness and coverage of the game, with a request for donations to support the event
