The countdown to one of Kuala Lumpur’s most anticipated football showcases is nearing its final whistle. AllStar Sports Sdn Bhd (AllStar Sports), in collaboration with World Football Legends (WFL), has officially unveiled the complete player line-up and match trophy for AllStar Legends, taking place on 3 October 2026.
With the event nearing a sell-out, football fans can look forward to an extraordinary gathering of former Premier League and international stars whose careers have inspired generations worldwide.
Football Icons Unite For AllStar Legends
The AllStar Premier Legends line-up features English Premier League icons John Arne Riise, Eidur Gudjohnsen, Danny Simpson, Ryan Giggs, Steven Gerrard, David Bentley, and Michael Owen.
Joining them are the AllStar World Legends, featuring global football stars Javier Saviola, Jaap Stam, Fernando Morientes, Diego Capel, Dida, Alessandro Del Piero, and Gregory Van Der Wiel.
Match Moves To MITEC Amid Haze Concerns
The highly anticipated clash has been relocated to the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), Kuala Lumpur, following careful consideration of the worsening haze and unpredictable weather conditions.
The indoor venue is also expected to bring a faster-paced dynamic to the match, while placing spectators closer to the players and action.
Rather than a traditional stadium experience, AllStar Legends at MITEC will offer fans a more intimate setting to see football legends up close in a controlled indoor environment.
Steven Windsor Highlights Fans’ Excitement
AllStar Sports Project Director, Mr Steven Windsor, said the strong response highlights the enduring appeal of football legends and the memories they have created among fans.
“The excitement surrounding AllStar Legends has been incredible, and we are delighted to finally reveal the complete line-up ahead of match day. Bringing together these football icons from the Premier League and around the world is a special opportunity for fans to see them share the pitch. We look forward to welcoming what promises to be a memorable night, where different generations can come together through their shared passion for football,” said Windsor.
Official Match Trophy Unveiled
The official AllStar Legends match trophy was also unveiled at the press conference, marking another milestone ahead of match day.
