Francesco Totti & Co come to Moscow for Legends Cup 2018
Moscow again played host to footballing royalty at the weekend, when Italian football icon and 2006 World Cup winner Francesco Totti visited the Russian capital to play in the annual Legends Cup tournament.
AS Roma idol Totti arrived with a team of Italian legends - including Dino Baggio and ex-Roma teammate Marco Delvecchio - for the 10th anniversary Legends Cup at Moscow’s Malaya Sportivnaya Arena, located just a stone’s throw from Luzhniki Stadium, which will host the World Cup opening game on June 14.
Nicknamed ‘Il Capitano’ (the Captain) by the Italian press during his tenure with AS Roma, Totti once again took the captain’s armband to lead his side against selections of veterans from Germany, France, Portugal, Russia and a team of World Stars.
The six-a-side tournament is dedicated to the memory of former futsal great Konstantin Yeryomenko, who tragically lost his life after suffering a heart attack on the pitch aged just 39.
