Flashscore, the global live scores app, has been announced as the strategic partner of the Legends Charity Game in Lisbon on Monday, September 15, the day before SBC Summit. The event, organised by Sport Global, will see Portugal Legends face World Legends at Sporting’s Estádio José Alvalade, with the aim of raising €1m for charitable causes.
The Portugal team will be captained by Luis Figo and feature Ricardo Quaresma, Nani, Eliseu, Bruno Alves, Ricardo Carvalho and Pepe, while the World Legends side includes Kaka and Carles Puyol among its star names. The annual event will run until at least 2030.
