The match between Portugal Legends and World Legends at Sporting’s Estádio José Alvalade has been organised by Sport Global with the aim of raising €1m for charities and serves as a spectacular curtain-raiser for the flagship iGaming conference.

Flashscore’s strategic partnership includes being the official live-score app for the game, meaning the match is featured on the app, along with player information and in-play data.
