The debut Legends Charity Game will pair football legends with a half-time show from Calema, the celebrated music duo and one of the Lusophone world’s biggest musical successes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taking place on Monday, 15 September 2025<\/strong> at either Estádio da Luz or Estádio José Alvalade, the match will see Portugal Legends face off against World Legends, with the aim of raising €1 million for charity*.<\/p>\n

Brothers António and Fradique Mendes Ferreira, known as Calema, have become international stars through their unique blend of pop, Afrobeat, and Lusophone influences. <\/strong>Born in São Tomé and Príncipe and based in Portugal, the duo has built a devoted following across Europe, Africa, and Latin America, with a fan base of millions worldwide. Earlier this year, they made headlines with a near sell-out concert at Lisbon’s Estádio da Luz, drawing almost 60,000 fans in what was described as a landmark moment for Lusophone music.<\/p>\n

At the Portugal vs World Legends Charity Game, Calema will perform live at half-time before 60,000 fans and millions watching worldwide<\/strong>. Kick-off is at 20:00, with gates opening at 18:30. With prices from €21.60 (including VAT), adult fans get a full evening of football action and live music at a remarkable value.<\/p>\n

Rasmus Sojmark, Founder of Legends Charity Game organiser, Sport Global, said<\/strong>: “The Legends Charity Game is about more than what happens on the pitch. It’s about celebrating what unites us. Football and music both inspire, and with Calema performing, we’re bringing those worlds together to support causes that truly matter.”<\/p>\n

Calema said in a joint statement<\/strong>: “We are honoured to perform at the first Legends Charity Game in Lisbon. Football has always been close to our hearts, and this is a chance to celebrate it while supporting charities that make a real difference. Sharing this night with football legends and fans from all over the world will be a huge highlight of our career.”<\/p>\n

The Portugal Legends team will be captained by Luís Figo and feature some of the nation’s most celebrated players, including Ricardo Quaresma, Ricardo Carvalho, Deco, and José Bosingwa. They will be joined by a strong supporting lineup of former internationals such as Fábio Coentrão, Vítor Baía, Nuno Gomes, Simão, Hélder Postiga, Maniche, Hugo Almeida, and Costinha, who will also serve as team manager.<\/p>\n

Their opponents, the World Legends, will bring together global icons including Kaká, Cafu, Javier Zanetti, Peter Schmeichel, and Gheorghe Hagi, alongside other stars such as Leonardo Bonucci, Marco Materazzi, Henrik Larsson, Edwin van der Sar, Marek Hamsik, Gaizka Mendieta, Javier Saviola, and Youri Djorkaeff. <\/p>\n

\nAll proceeds from the match will be donated through the Sport Global Charitable Foundation* to four causes: Cruz Vermelha Portuguesa, Cáritas Portuguesa, International Alert, and the Ukrainian Red Cross Society.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Legends Charity Game is an annual event organised by Sport Global and will run until 2030, alongside its sister company’s flagship industry gathering, Sbc Summit, which covers betting, gaming, tech, payments, and marketing.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the Legends Charity Game are now on sale<\/strong>, starting from €21.60 for adults and €10.80 for children (VAT included). Premium Category 1 tickets are also available at €54.00 for adults and €27.00 for children under 12.<\/p>\n

Donations can be made online.<\/strong>
