's friendly match this week is a way to help Puerto Rico as the island continues to recover from Hurricane Maria, but one player wanted to give more.
Midfielder Antonio Nocerino purchased and donated 100 tickets for Orlando City’s benefit game against the Puerto Rican national team Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Orlando City Stadium.
All proceeds from the event, called “Fuerza Puerto Rico,” will go to the United for Puerto Rico initiative to raise funds and aid recovery efforts following the destruction on the island.
Tickets are on sale at Ticketmaster.com and range in price from $20 to $65.
