Sports stars and clubs across the world continue to help their local communities – and find new ways to amuse themselves – during the coronavirus pandemic.

Here, the PA news agency looks at some of the best examples from May 15.

Football

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata will be on the judging panel for an art competition ran by the PFA Charity, which will raise funds for NHS Charities Together and the Prince's Trust.

The Art4NHS competition will see children and adults submit paintings and drawings on the theme of the NHS and community spirit, with individual prizes across four age groups including matchday tickets for next season and football shirts.

Mata, who is joined on the panel by artists Darren Baker, Lauren Baker and Ian Berry, said: "In the face of adversity, it has been inspiring to see the remarkable work of the NHS staff and also how communities have come together.
