Bollywood hunks love for football is no secret. The days they aren't behind a camera, it is likely they are sweating it out on the field. And taking this love to another level, our B'Town celebs played a football match for a social cause.
Ranbir Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan who were recently spotted on the field with other fellow members Leander Paes, Dino Morea, Kartik Aaryan, Karan Wahi, Vivian Dsena, Karan Mehra and other team members flew to Singapore for the Magic Bus Cup.
As members of the All Star Football Club (ASFC), the team played against Singapore's Celebrity Sports Club to raise funds for marginalized children and raised around Rs 60 lakh towards the Magic Bus programme.

Bunty Walia of the organising team said, "Leander Paes joined the boys for their latest photoshoot yesterday. He will fly with the team to play the game. This is the first time that Leander will play with us. He is a sports person, and has always shown interest in the game. He had a free window, and when I spoke to him, he asked me if his jersey was available. Leander has practised with us in the past and is superb at the sport."

Abhishek too added, "I have met some of the children and know what a massive change the organisation has made in their lives." Glad to do his bit for the cause, Ranbir Kapoor said, "I am excited for the match, but I'm more thrilled to reach the goal of this fundraiser."
Ranbir who owns a football team Mumbai City FC earlier in an interview enthusiastically spoke about his love for football. He said, “Everything about football excites us (ASFC members)! Playing induces adrenaline, explains the basics of teamwork and its importance. As a viewer too, it is the most involving game for audiences. Every minute, every second of it has something exciting for both the players and audiences.”
Arjun and Abhishek who also own football teams expressed their craze over the sport. Arjun had said in an interview earlier, “We both are football fanatics and we love the sport and the fact that we own teams. But yes, I can assure you that the friendly banter is going to be there. There will be an edge to those games for sure.”
