Danish Donation: FC Nordsjælland join Common Goal
FC Nordsjælland have made history by becoming the first club in the world to donate 1% of their match day revenue to charity, after beating Cliftonville FC in the Europa League.
The charity in question is "Common Goal", which was set up by Manchester United star Juan Mata. The initiative encourages players to donate 1% of their salary to charity.
Tom Vernon is the Chairman of FC Nordsjælland and explained to Sportshour how it works.
