Jahangirnagar University (JU) has announced a special initiative to support flood victims during the screening of the Argentina vs Switzerland quarter-final match. The event will take place at the university’s open stage, where students and campus residents can watch the game on a large screen while contributing to a crowdfunding campaign for those affected by ongoing floods in parts of Bangladesh.

According to a Facebook post by JUCSU Sports Secretary Md. Mahamudul Hasan Kiron, the match screening will begin at 7 a.m. on July 12. He urged students to bring voluntary donations such as cash, dry food, essential medicines, or other necessary items to deposit in a designated relief collection box at the venue. The initiative aims to combine the joy of sports with a humanitarian cause, reflecting the university’s tradition of standing by people during national crises.

Organizers hope the event will inspire compassion and collective responsibility among students while providing tangible support to flood-affected communities.
