The two companies have organized a unique football show in a 5v5 format that will bring together great legends of Barça and Real Madrid at the Glion Arena in Kobe on May 24 and 25.
The ultimate showdown between legends returns to Japan. This time, it comes to Kobe in an unprecedented format: indoor, 5-a-side, and featuring some of the most iconic names in world football. The event, organized by NSN in collaboration with Stoneweg Places & Experiences, will take place on May 24 and 25 at the new Glion Arena, a state-of-the-art venue with a capacity for 10,000 spectators.
Following the success of the previous edition at Tokyo’s Ajinomoto Stadium, NSN once again brings the football spectacle to Japan with a renewed proposal that combines sports, entertainment, and fan engagement. The lineup includes legends such as Andrés Iniesta, Romario, Saviola, and Giuly representing FC Barcelona, and Pepe, Emerson, and Coentrao representing Real Madrid. The event will also feature historic futsal players like Paco Sedano, Esquerdinha, Javi Rodríguez, Jordi Torras, and Fernandao, further reinforcing the spirit of the small-sided format.
The event will unfold over two days. On Friday, May 24, there will be a special program open to the public featuring meet-and-greets with players, talks, and skill contests. The main event will take place on Saturday, May 25 at 2:00 PM (local time), with the official match between the legends of both clubs—a unique spectacle for both the Japanese audience and fans following from around the world.
With this new edition of the legends clash, NSN and Stoneweg Places & Experiences reinforce their ability to produce major international events, blending storytelling, innovation, and a carefully crafted staging. A dynamic, visually impactful format designed to keep inspiring through sport.
