The Silverbacks soccer team will donate 50 percent of advance ticket sales for Saturday's game against Edmonton as part of Japan Relief Night. The team will make the donation in the name of Kohei Matsushita, a native of Ishikawa, Japan, who recently signed with the team.

The team will also host activities about the Japanese culture. The country's national anthem will be sung and the Japanese Consul General will attend the game.

Fans wishing to participate must purchase tickets before Friday at www.atlantasilverbacks.com or by calling (404) 969-4900.
