Between
winning the Premier League with Manchester City and leading Belgium's
charge at the World Cup, Vincent Kompany somehow found time to host a
gala fundraiser and dance party featuring 2manydjs for children in
poverty.
The
City and Belgium captain donned a three-piece suit and black tie and
accompanied his wife Carla Higgs to his Go Crazy for Charity event in
Brussels on Wednesday night.
Other
guests include former tennis world No 1 Kim Clijsters, also an
ambassador for the charity, and Kompany's sister Christel, who is
president of his Belgian Promotion league football club BX Brussels.

The party,
which had Belgian club superstars 2manydjs and DJ Lorenzo Ottati
scheduled to play at 1am and 3am respectively, was in honour of SOS
Children's Villages for which Kompany is an international ambassador.
Kompany,
just back from a City jaunt to Abu Dhabi and due to appear in a
friendly for Belgium against Luxembourg on May 26, has been involved
with the charity for nine years.
When
named an international ambassador in April, Kompany said: 'No child
should grow up alone, without love and a stable home. Yet, sadly over
150 million children experience the fear of being alone, without love,
without a family and without safety and stability.'
Belgium's World Cup group H campaign begins on June 17 against Algeria.
