- ICBC leads corporate sponsors as tournament's first title sponsor
- All proceeds to be channelled to beneficiaries through Community Chest

The SGX Bull Charge Charity Futsal tournament today brought together local soccer heroes and artistes to raise $178,000 for a meaningful cause.

ICBC was the first title sponsor of this event. Charity Futsal, now in its sixth edition, featured 36 teams including women's squads and financial influencers battling it out at Kovan Sport Centre. Guest players included former Singapore international stars Isa Halim, Malek Awab, Nazri Nasir and Steven Tan, actors Randall Tan and Alan Tern, as well as news presenter Paul Sng. For the first time, a kids match was organised for beneficiaries and children of SGX staff to instill the spirit of giving from a young age.

SGX Bull Charge aims to raise $3 million this year. Partnering Community Chest, all proceeds will be channelled to the adopted SGX Bull Charge beneficiaries for 2019: AWWA Ltd., Autism Association (Singapore), Fei Yue Community Services, HCSA Community Services and Shared Services for Charities.

Chew Sutat, SGX Bull Charge Chairman said, We thank our corporate sponsors for their unwavering support and commitment to another successful Charity Futsal event. For our work with communities to be sustainable, it is necessary to have participation from all quarters, and we are delighted by the diversity of the teams today.

Today's event follows a Charity Golf tournament in May. The 16th annual Charity Run, the grand finale of each year's SGX Bull Charge programme, will be held on 8 November in Marina Bay.
