In a moment where music meets purpose, Francis Mercier brought his global movement “Solèy” to Dubai on Sunday, April 19, transforming entertainment into a meaningful act of giving.
Through the Solèy FC Dubai event, the internationally acclaimed DJ and producer combined sport, culture, and community to support a vital humanitarian cause—Lebanon.
A Charity Event with Real Impact
Hosted at Ballers Dubai, the event raised funds for the Lebanese Red Cross, including a personal donation of $20,000 from Mercier, alongside additional contributions from participating players.
The proceeds are dedicated to providing urgent medical aid and supporting critical relief efforts for communities in need across Lebanon.
Beyond Music: A Platform for Change
Solèy FC Dubai reflects a broader vision rooted in cultural connection and collective action. For Mercier, the initiative goes far beyond music—it represents a commitment to using his platform to create real-world impact.
Lebanon holds a special place in his journey, as one of the first countries to support his music and contribute to his rise on the global stage.
“Through Solèy, I aim to create moments that go beyond music—bringing people from different cultures together to become a positive force for real human impact,” Mercier shared.
From the Field to the Stage
This event marks the first official charitable edition of the Solèy FC series, following successful matches in Miami and Saint Martin.
The concept continues to evolve into a unique platform that blends entertainment with purpose—where football becomes a language of unity, and music amplifies its reach.
The experience extended beyond the pitch with an open-air DJ set in Dubai, offering a vibrant cultural atmosphere while building anticipation for Mercier’s upcoming release, “Inshallah.”
A Global Presence with a Purpose
With over 500 million streams and performances at major global festivals such as Coachella, Tomorrowland, and Ushuaïa Ibiza, Francis Mercier continues to solidify his international presence.
Yet beyond the stage, his work highlights something deeper—the ability of music, when paired with intention, to become a powerful force for positive change.
