OMEGAPRO in partnership with the Dubai Government through the Dubai Sports Council launched the very first edition of The OmegaPro Legends Cup, right under Burj Khalifa in May 2022.
This was the first ever game of football to be played under the glittery stars and the shimmery Burj Khalifa in the premises of the lavish Armani Hotel.
The night was an amazing sight to behold with former Barcelona ace and current President of Cameroon football Federation Samuel Eto, the likes of Barcelona icons Luis Figo, Ronaldinho, AC Milan great Kaka, Italy World Cup winner Marco Materazzi, Chelsea legend John Terry, Dutch star Patrick Kluivert, and Spanish and Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas and so many more lacing up their boots one more time and sharing the same pitch and showing that they still have those silky skills and that competitive edge that made them household names.
Other notable names that turned up for the game included Nigerian football legend Austin “Jay Jay” Okocha, Columbia icon Carlos Valderrama, Holland great Wesley Sneijder and former Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre.
Three 20 minute matches were played on the glitzy grounds of the Armani Hotel in the heart of Downtown Dubai with the giant Burj Khalifa the world’s tallest building providing an incredible backdrop on one end and the stunning Dubai Fountains on the other. It certainly was an impressive sight and the matches were also high quality affairs and brimming with cheeky flicks, nutmegs, sliding tackles and goals aplenty.
The result hardly mattered but ultimately it was Brazil legend Ronaldinho who led the Stars Team to victory by defeating the Champions Team for a combined score of 18-16 to lift the beautiful gold trophy.
