Football legends Ricardo Kaka and Luis Figo visited Karachi in January to officially kick off World Soccer Stars 2019 in the country.

Teams will be led out by footballing icons Luis Figo and Kaka who will play a two-match football tour in Karachi and Lahore on 27 and 28 April 2019.

The team will include a star-studded line-up featuring ten internationally acclaimed football legends, who will constitute the World Soccer Stars teams.

World Soccer Stars follows on from July 2017 when TSG facilitated the showcase football spectacle featuring Ronaldinho, the Brazilian superstar, who went head-to-head with Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs.

It was the first time a  star-studded football line-up was hosted on Pakistani soil, which gave football-loving fans a glimpse of their heroes.
