After three matchdays, Europe head Africa 26 points to 5. But, in order to bring down the curtain in great style, the event will close with an All-Star Match between Europe and Africa to be played in the Stadio San Nicola in Bari. The gala match is scheduled to kick-off at 20.30. It is the second such confrontation. The first was played in SL Benfica’s Estádio da Luz in Lisbon on 29 January 1997, when the ink was still drying on the newly-signed co-operation agreement between UEFA and CAF, known as the Meridian Project. The game was televised in 100 countries worldwide, including 30 in Africa, where the audience was around 60 million. The result was a 2-1 win for Africa. Abedi Pelé put the visitors ahead with a stunning goal early in the first half and, after Vincent Guérin had equalised for Europe just before half-time, it was the 1998 African Player of the Year, Mustapha Hadji, who struck Africa’s 78th-minute winner. That match was played by active full-time professionals. This second All-Star Match has been designed to bring together great players aged between 35 and 45 who now revel in their ‘veteran’ status and play the game purely for pleasure. The squad lists make emotive reading and spark off memories of great footballing moments at club and international level. They will be in Bari as role models for the African and European youngsters who have taken their first steps towards the top during the Meridian Cup tournament and who will presented with their trophies and medals during the half-time interval of the All-Star Match.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, English and Catalan footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto "Més que un club" (More than a club). It is the world's second-richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €398 million (2011). The unique feature of the club is that unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona.

  • LEARNING from the BEST Gabriel Masfurroll
    LEARNING FROM THE BEST Gabriel Masfurroll Foreword I first met Gabriel Masfurroll in the seventies, when he was a teenager and a competitive swimmer. At that time, swimming played a very important part in my life because the European Championships held in Barcelona in 1970, in which I participated actively, were an excellent yardstick for the Olympic Games of 1992. Masfurroll was living in the Residencia Joaquín Blume in Barcelona, run by my friend Ricardo Sánchez, and we had good friends in common such as Santiago Esteva and Maria Paz Corominas, swimmers who in their day were key figures in Spanish sport. I shall never forget something ‘Gaby’, as his friends call him, said to me when he was still very young: “Mr. Samaranch, when I grow up I want to be like you and match your achievements. I also love sport and believe I can do a lot for it”. It comes as no surprise to me, then, to see Masfurroll holding positions of responsibility in leading sporting institutions. A few years later, I met up with “Gaby” again when he was head of the Quirón Clinic in Barcelona. Since then we have kept in touch on a regular basis. We have met and written to each other on numerous occasions and I recall a beautiful picture, on display at the headquarters of the Olympic Committee in Lausanne, which he gave me on one of his visits. I have followed his career very closely over these years and that phrase “when I grow up I want to be like you”, made me take a keen interest in both his personal and professional development.

Date : 1 diciembre 2017 Participantes: 1 / 44 Cuadernos de Fútbol Revista de CIHEFE https://www.cihefe.es/cuadernosdefutbol Fueron treinta y dos campeones los que tomaron parte en esta edición. La presencia del Hansa Rostock como último equipo que defendió el pabellón de Alemania Oriental era la confirmación de la unión de los dos estados a lo largo del 1991. Era el reflejo más inmediato de los trascendentes cambios políticos que sacudieron a Europa. También el Dinamo de Kiev fue el último campeón soviético porque como consecuencia de la desintegración de la Unión Soviética se dio paso a un ente deportivo internacional fantasma, la Comunidad de Estados Independientes, para dar espacio legal de manera circunstancial a la nueva conformación de Europa. Yugoslavia también empezaba a desmoronarse como república federal y se registraban los primeros movimientos separatistas.
