Chelsea to play for Soma disaster

The Blues will face Istanbul sides Fenerbache and Besitktas at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on May 8 in two 45-minute matches.
The games should give Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho another chance to work out his best XI ahead of the Premier League season, while giving his World Cup stars another chance to impress.

And Mourinho's side could come up against some old friends in Turkey: Demba Ba has just left Stamford Bridge to sign for Besiktas, while Fenerbahce boast one-time Blues midfielder Raul Meireles in their ranks.
The tournament has been organised to raise funds for the families of the 301 people killed in May's Soma mining disaster.
An explosion and subsequent fire left 787 workers buried underground leading to a four-day rescue effort and three days of national mourning. It was the worst disaster of its kind in Turkey.
