Luis Figo about playing in the Legends Charity Game
“It’s always a pleasure to come back to my country and play football, especially when wearing the national team colours! Hope to see a full stadium in my hometown Lisbon for this amazing Legends Charity Game and raise funds for important charity causes.”
About
A Portuguese legend, Luís Figo was one of the best players in the world during his playing career, tallying over 100 appearances for each of the four clubs he represented - Sporting CP, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan - winning plenty of trophies along the way.
While his international career didn’t generate silverware - playing in three European Championships and two World Cups - his personal achievements can only be matched by a few.
Figo won the 2000 Ballon d'Or, 2001 FIFA World Player of the Year, and was named in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players in 2004.
