WORLD LEGEND

Del Piero about playing in the Legends Charity Game:
“Winning the World Cup in 2006 was the fulfilment of a childhood dream. It’s a tournament that holds a special place in the heart of every Italian. With Portugal preparing to co-host the 2030 edition, playing in Lisbon for such a meaningful cause feels truly special. The Legends Charity Game captures what football is all about: unity, generosity, and making a difference. I’m proud to be part of it and to show that football legends still have a lot to give.”
