SERIE A LEGENDS LIGHT UP RIYADH

Serie A Legends take the field in Riyadh to bring their contribution of history and emotions. Starting on 17 January, Demetrio Albertini, Vincent Candela, Ivan Ramiro Cordoba, Alessandro Del Piero, Luigi Di Biagio, Dario Marcolin, Alessandro Matri, Francesco Totti, Nicola Ventola, Christian Vieri and Gianluca Zambrotta will take part in the many events organised by Lega Serie A in collaboration with its partners. After arriving in Riyadh, the 11 champions will move to Al Nakheel Boulevard, where the 'EA SPORTS Supercup Dinner', the official gala dinner in the presence of the Milan and Inter Milan delegations, institutions and sponsors, will be held. On 18 January, the day will be opened by the 'Padel Cup', a padel tournament that will see some Legends take to the field. The pairs that will play the doubles, in the setting of the Padel IN in Riyadh, will be selected just before the start of the challenges. In the afternoon, local fans and guests will have the opportunity to meet their idols, take photos with them and get their autographs signed in the Meet & Greet to be held at Diriyah Nights. Prior to the kick-off of the EA SPORTS Supercup, the Serie A Legends will accompany the Lega Serie A sponsors on the Walk About of the "King Fahd International Stadium", and then take their seats in the stands to watch the spectacle of the match. "Playing the final of the EA SPORTS Supercup abroad means being able to export one of the best games of the season to a strategic territory for Lega Serie A, as the NFL and NBA do in Europe for American football and basketball. Playing abroad allows us to bring everything that Italian football represents for so many fans to every corner of the planet, especially in the Middle East - the words of Luigi De Siervo, CEO of Lega Serie A -. Thanks to the Serie A Legends we are able to convey the passion and stories that have made our league unforgettable. Their anecdotes and experience become added value both for the broadcasters and sponsors present, and for all the Saudi fans who until the day before could only admire them through TV or smartphones".
