Isfahan, Jan 6, IRNA -- National futsal team of Iran to play the All-Star side of Isfahan in the center of the country in a charitable game Thursday to raise money for the quake-stricken people of Bam.

Talking to IRNA Tuesday, Ali-Akbar Abarqouei-Nejad said the friendly will be held in Pirouzi Hall.

He added all the national players except the Italy-based Vahid Shamsaei and Mohammad-Reza Heidarian will go to Isfahan.

A strong quake with a magnitude of 6.3 degrees on the open-ended Richter scale, the world`s most lethal one in at least 10 years, leveled the city and suburban villages before dawn on Friday, at 05:28 local time (0158 GMT), when most people were still sleeping in their mostly mud-brick houses.

Round-the-clock relief efforts were complicated by piles of bodies in the streets, overflowing cemeteries, bitterly cold nights, rain, and aftershocks.

Some 35,000 bodies have so far buried but the death toll was likely to be much higher. Aid poured in from four corners of the country and the world to help deal with the huge disaster.
