[OSEN=강필주 기자] It is shocking to learn that the ‘Legend All-Star Game’, which seemed to excite the hearts of soccer fans, is in danger of being cancelled.
Racing City Group has been promoting extensively since last summer that it will hold an All-Star Game in which legends from three countries, Korea, Italy, and Brazil, will face each other at Goyang Stadium on the 21st under the name of ‘Legend All-Star Game’.
To this end, Racing City Group invited several soccer legends and gave them confidence. Legends who are not usually seen, including ‘alien’ Ronaldinho (Brazil), Marco Materazzi, Fabio Cannavaro, Francesco Totti, and Paolo Maldini, visited Korea and even held a fan signing event.
In Korea, Ahn Jung-hwan and Choi Jin-cheol, who made the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup semifinals legend, were in attendance, and Lee Woon-jae, Kim Tae-young, Lee Eul-yong, and Kim Nam-il were also said to be playing.
In particular, Racing City Group said, “The Legend All-Star Game is in the following order: Game 1: Korea vs. Italy, Game 2: Brazil vs. Korea, Game 3: Italy vs. Brazil. Each game will be played for a total of 40 minutes, 20 minutes in the first half and 20 minutes in the second half.” The operating method was also made known.
Racing City Group, which has been selling tickets since the 25th of last month, heightened the atmosphere by emphasizing that it will hold open training on the 20th, the day before the game, ahead of the Chuseok holiday. It was also announced that some areas, including VIP seats, are currently sold out.
In response, a soccer official explained, “The Legend All-Star Game has been cancelled. Until now, we have been promoting it with Korean capital. However, the capital that was supposed to come from the Middle East was not deposited, causing a disruption in the progress of the tournament.”
He continued, “There will be no financial problems for fans who made reservations to watch the game. I understand that all reserved tickets will be returned. More than anything, soccer fans who wanted to see legends will likely be very disappointed.” “I think it would be difficult to hold an event like this without Coupang,” he emphasized. /[email protected]
