How it's used

Verb て-form + も means "even if X," asserting the main clause regardless of the condition. 行います states a firm decision, so the sentence needs a concession rather than a reason or a condition. ので would make rain the reason for holding the match, ながら requires one subject doing two simultaneous actions, and たら makes the match conditional on rain rather than in spite of it.
