They will go head-to-head against the African Legends, led by Jay-Jay Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu, Alex Song, Mark Fish, and other revered figures of African football.

Beyond the match, the event promises a total fan experience — from an exclusive “Legends Meet & Greet” to a gala dinner, where supporters will have the rare opportunity to interact with football icons in a spirit of camaraderie and celebration.

Proceeds from the event will go towards initiatives supporting the girl child across Africa.
