The annual event organized by Brazilian soccer legend Sitko, the Star Charity Match, kicked off on Thursday (29th) at the Marajuana Stadium. The event was not only an event for players and fans to honor Billy, but also a star-studded event. A number of players attended the event wearing T-shirts with the words "Eternal Billy" on them, including Shekau, David Reyes, Xerobatu, Diago, and Billy's grandson also joined the event. In addition, 16-year-old Ndik, who recently moved to Real Madrid for an astronomical sum of money, was also present and proved himself to be a great player with a brilliant goal.
The charity tournament planned by Shekau is held at the end of each year and this year's tournament had a special Billy theme, with all participants wearing special white T-shirts before the tournament, which featured a silhouette of Billy, the No. 10 jersey and the words Eternal Billy. The crowd at the Marajana Stadium also raised banners in honor of Billy. The star-studded match ended with a score of 2-2.
Xue Gao said after the game, "I learned a lot from Billy when I was young. To be in the same country as the greatest player in the history of soccer is an honor in itself. He is a role model for me and all players.
