Bosingwa about playing in the Legends Charity Game
“Football has given me so much throughout my life, so being part of the Legends Charity Match is a chance to give something back. It’s an honour to support local charities that are making a real difference in our communities and to do it while stepping onto the pitch with some of the most iconic names in the game makes it even more special. I can’t wait to feel that energy again and contribute to a great cause through the sport I love.”
