Football Association (FA) chairman Greg Clarke on Friday said the proceeds from the 2017 FA Community Shield will be donated to support those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.
He said football is for all and hopes that in some small way through the Community Shield the association is able to give something back to those who are in need.
Arsenal will play Chelsea on 6 August at Wembley Stadium, and £1.25m could be raised from the match.
According to BBC Sport, the English Football League will also be donating £175,000.
79 people are reported missing or presumed dead in the attack while survivors, the families of the victims and emergency services personnel will all be invited to the game as guests.

A  letter  signed by more than a dozen billionai...

A former Arsenal player is currently in stable condition after being rushed to the hospital on Saturday when a ball struck him in the head during a football match. The 26-year-old was hit in the face with the ball from close range during a game where RWD Molenbeek suffered a 3-1 defeat at home to Charleroi in the Belgian Pro League.
