Brazilian footballer Gabriel Lima will travel to Israel to participate in a memorial match for his former teammate Lior Assulin, who was killed at the Nova music festival. The match, scheduled for Tuesday at Doha Stadium, will pit Assulin's former club, Bnei Sakhnin, against a team of his friends.
Lima, who formed a notable attacking partnership with Assulin known as "Assulima" during the 2003/4 season, is flying in along with former teammates Ernest Etchi and Koumako Camara. Lima expressed his desire to pay his final respects to his former strike partner.
Bnei Sakhnin, managed by Eyal Lachman, will feature players such as Abbas Suan, Rafi Cohen, and Ahmed Kasoum. The opposing team of friends, coached by Bnei Sakhnin's current manager Yossi Abukasis, will include Yoav Ziv, former director of Maccabi Tel Aviv, and Kfir Edri, CEO of Beitar Jerusalem, among others. Lior Assulin's brother, Moshe Assulin, will also play for the friends' team.
The match will be broadcast live on Sport 5 starting at 5:00 PM. Organizers are hoping for a full stadium of fans and local residents to honor the memory of the former player, who died over three years ago. Premier League referee Aviad Shiloh will officiate the game.
