F.C. Copenhagen shirt auction raises €32,500 already
The F.C. Copenhagen shirt auction which is raising money for Denmark's SMIL Foundation has already raised 242,700 DKK (€32,500 | £28,600) just four days into its launch.
Fans can bid for shirts that were worn in Sunday's 2-1 win over Viborg, and which have been specially designed by FCK players and kids from the SMIL Foundation.
The likes of Mohamed Daramy, William Clem, Kamil Grabara and Rasmus Falk designed their shirt numbers and lettering alongside SMIL Foundation's children. All proceeds from the auctions go directly to the SMIL Foundation. Lauritz.com is also donating all involved fees from the auction to the charity.
The auction is well underway and will end on Sunday 23 April.
Reserve prices began at 1,000 DKK but the shirts have already attracted plenty of interest.
The current highest bid is 23,000 DKK (€3,000 | £2,700) for goalscorer Daramy's shirt. Other high bids include:
- Kamil Grabara – 19,000 DKKK
- Rasmus Falk – 16,000 DKK
- Valdemar Lund – 16,000 DKK
- Andreas Cornelius – 15,500 DKK
The shirts will not be sold in the FCK Fan Shop or elsewhere - so this is your only chance to get your hands on one of the special match-worn jerseys while supporting the SMIL Foundation.
