When we take the field on Saturday, we honor former deployed personnel and their relatives. Once again this year, Koldin...g IF and Kolding Municipality are part of the Danish Sports Confederation's Veteran Match.
Following Flag Day on September 5th, the Danish Sports Confederation, with support from the Grundfos Foundation, brings together the top of Danish sports to recognize former deployed personnel and their relatives.
Across the country, they are invited from September 13-23 for free football in the 3F Superliga and NordicBet Liga, handball in the Men's League, and ice hockey in the Metal League.
One of the 44 matches in total is Kolding IF's match against HB Køge. It will be more than just a match for 3 points. It will be an evening where sports communities extend their arms in recognition of those who have made a difference.
At Veteran Match, players will wear specially designed jerseys, which can be bid on during and after the match via MatchWornShirt.com.
The money from the jersey sales goes to safe sports communities for veterans and police officers with physical and mental injuries - so-called Safe Zones, developed by the DIF Soldier Project.
