The event, organised by the Attom Foundation in collaboration with ZMB Homes and WGI, will see Barça Legends coach Albert Ferrer rely on Brazilian maestro Ronaldinho, who has formally committed to featuring in the squad.
The two-time FIFA World Player of the Year will be joined by former teammates Ludovic Giuly, Javier Saviola, Jesús Angoy, Samuel Okunowo, Marc Valiente, Fernando Navarro and Roberto Trashorras, with even more star names set to be revealed in the coming days.
The Champions Cup, billed as a historic encounter, will take place at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja on October 25, at 3pm Nigerian time.
