Real Kashmir FC attends event held under Prince of Monaco's patronage

Real Kashmir FC Thursday attended as a special guest a 'Football for Peace' event under the patronage of Albert II, Prince of Monaco.

The event is being held at London's Copper Box Arena, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on Thursday.

Real Kashmir FC received the invitation for their work amidst social unrest.

A non-governmental organisation headquartered in London and supported by the United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace, FFP is a grassroots football movement with diplomatic impact, which brings people together and creates understanding through the beautiful game.

"It is my distinct pleasure on behalf of our co-founders FIFA and Chilean legend Elias Figueroa, an international footballer, Kashif Siddiqi - being 'Champions for Peace' under the high patronage of HRH Prince Albert II of Monaco, to deliver this letter to your honourable attention," FFP Chief Executive Officer Jay Jadeja said in the letter addressed to owners Sandeep Chattoo and Shamim Meraj.

Both the owners will attend the event.

"We would like to cordially invite you to attend our 'City for Peace' national celebrations as a special guest to see firsthand our contribution through football to offer an alternative to division."
