Kaká
Midfield
WORLD LEGEND
Brazil
Kaká about playing in the Legends Charity Game:
“As a footballer, winning is part of who you are — it drives your passion, your performance, and your pursuit of excellence. I’ve been fortunate to lift the FIFA World Cup, the UEFA Champions League, and the Ballon d’Or and many other titles… and I’ve always taken that responsibility seriously. But being invited to play in the Legends Charity Game is special. Here, the real victory isn’t measured by goals or results — it’s about unity, purpose, and giving back. I can’t wait be on the pitch in Lisbon and celebrate with everyone.”
About
A graceful playmaker blessed with vision, flair, and extraordinary technical skill, Kaká was one of the most elegant attacking midfielders of his generation. Bursting onto the scene in Brazil with São Paulo, his blend of pace, power, and creativity quickly earned him a move to Europe with AC Milan, where he reached the pinnacle of world football.
During his time at Milan, Kaká became the heartbeat of the team, winning the Ballon d'Or in 2007 after leading the Rossoneri to Champions League glory. A subsequent big-money move to Real Madrid saw him join the iconic “Galácticos” era, although injuries hampered his consistency. He later returned to Milan and finished his career in Major League Soccer with Orlando City.
At international level, Kaká was part of Brazil's 2002 World Cup-winning squad and played a vital role in subsequent tournaments, cementing his place as one of the modern greats of Brazilian football.
