A benefit is a match or season of activities granted by a sporting body to a loyal sportsman to boost their income before retirement. Often this is in the form of a match for which all the ticket proceeds are given to the player in question. However hosting one of these matches is a risk for the player in question as he/she is responsible for paying any relevant receipts and collects any excess income from the match, therefore income from such matches is more often than not reliant on attendance.
There have been occasions when a testimonial match was not held until the players had been retired for over a decade. This occurred when Bill O'Reilly and Stan McCabe , Australian Test cricketers of the 1930s, were given a joint testimonial by the New South Wales Cricket Association .
Sometimes, the "beneficiary" can opt to give part or all of the money to charity. An example of this is Paul Collingwood 's 2007 benefit with Durham County Cricket Club . This may also occur when sportsmen unite for a cause, for example the Rafael Nadal vs Roger Federer " Match for Africa " (2010) where more than $2.6 million was raised for the Roger Federer Foundation , enabling children living in poverty to realise their potential.
