Turkish clubs Fenerbahce and Besiktas and English Premier League's Chelsea will play in a charity tournament, in Istanbul on Friday, for the relatives of those deceased in the May 13 Soma mining incident. The event will take place at Fenerbahce's Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. Chelsea arrived in Istanbul by private jet on Thursday night and was welcomed by a Fenerbahce executive Orkun Yazgan. After landing, former Galatasaray player Didier Drogba expressed his joy for being in Istanbul once again. "This tournament is a very important event to show our supports for the people in Soma," Chelsea's 36-year-old veteran striker said. On May 13, a blast in a mine in town of Soma in western province of Manisa claimed the lives of 301 miners.
