Slap Messi in the face, Hong Kong will host another star game! Six major World Cup champions lead the Lunar New Year Cup, promising to play all of them

At 17 o'clock on February 13, Beijing time, the 2024 Chinese New Year Cup will be held at the Hong Kong Stadium, China, with the World Stars team playing against the Hong Kong Stars team, which is also another star game held in Hong Kong, China after the Miami International Hong Kong tour.

At the beginning of February, Inter Miami came to Hong Kong, China, but Messi did not play in the game, causing an uproar. After less than half a month, another star game - the Lunar New Year Cup was held in Hong Kong, this time all of them are retired stars, and their appeal is not as good as Messi's, but most of them are famous in their player era, and they also include 6 stars who have won the World Cup.

The six World Cup winners are: Rivaldo of Brazil in 2002, Totti, Piero and Materazzi of Italy in 2006 and Puyol and Villa of Spain in 2010. In addition, there are David James, Cesar, Silwest, Hyypia, Carvalho, Thiago, Sneijder, Veron, Morientes, Mendieta and others, and the Hong Kong stars players include Fan Chun Yip, Yip Hung Fai, Chan Wai Ho, Au Wai Lun and others.

Former England international David James said at the press conference that participating in the Lunar New Year Cup was a very rare opportunity and promised that every player in the World Stars team would play.

It is worth mentioning that the last time the Lunar New Year Cup was held was in 2019, and it was finally staged again after 5 years. Tickets for the competition are also relatively cheap, ranging from HK$180 (about HK$165) to HK$980 (about HK$896), and tickets will be distributed free of charge to primary and secondary school students and underprivileged families through hospitals. The lowest ticket price for the Miami China Tour is 880 Hong Kong dollars, and the highest is 4880 Hong Kong dollars.
