Aleksander Čeferin takes Slovenian legends to Rio de Janeiro: Juan Roman Riquelme, Cafu, Maxi Rodriguez…
South America will get a new club champion for 2023, as Argentine giants Boca Juniors and Brazilian club Fluminense take on each other at the iconic Maracana in Rio de Janeiro. Tens of thousands of fans from both countries will watch the Cope Libertadores final, and there will also be an “expedition” from Slovenia.
Before the final of the most prestigious club competition on the other side of the world, CONMEBOL and CONCACAF also played an exhibition match with UEFA. Retired footballers were at work, and it is interesting to note that the UEFA jersey was mainly worn by Slovenians.
Guest captain from Europe was none other than Aleksander Čeferin, UEFA President, with former Slovenian national team players wearing the yellow jerseys Milivoje Novaković, Boštjan Cesar, Branko Ilić, Aleksandar Radosavljevic, Miran Pavlin, Robert Koren, Bojan Jokić and Mišo Brečko.
Played for CONMEBOL, among others Juan Roman Riquelme (former Boca Juniors star who also wore a Barcelona jersey), Oscar Cordova (former Colombia international, who played for Perugia and Beşiktaş), Fabian Monzon (Nice, Lyon, Betis, Catania…), Maxi Rodriguez (Atletico Madrid, Liverpool), Carlos Gamarra (110 games for Paraguay), Alejandro Dominguez (Valencia, Olympiakos), Cafu (Roma, AC Milan)… The local media do not report the result of the match.
