Steven Gerrard and Robert Pires among stars for 6-a-side tournament




Robert Pires, Deco and Carles Puyol are set to feature at the 12-team Star Sixes tournament next year.

Steven Gerrard, Robert Pires and Jay-Jay Okocha are among the star names lined up for a six-a-side international tournament to be launched in London next summer.

Star Sixes, which will take place at London's O2 Arena from July 13-16 next year, will feature Brazil, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Italy, France, England, Portugal, Australia, Nigeria, Netherlands and China.

Carles Puyol, Michael Ballack and Deco have also been confirmed for the tournament, which organisers said would be made up entirely of "recently retired fully capped international" players. Games are set to be played over 30 minutes and the tournament will feature a group stage followed by a knockout round.

Future events are planned for arenas in Berlin, Istanbul, Beijing, Sydney, Miami and Seattle.

These guys are not 'recently retired'. There should be a whole generation after them, but who are they? :idea: :lol:

We have a problem in that country, I was watching Cricketing Greats on Sky and the topic was Imram Khan the Pakistani all rounder and the talk was how he influenced and mentored the next generation like Wasim Akram and co, Those one have gone on to be greats themselves and they have mentored the next generation who just won the T20 cup.

Mentoring is missing in Nigeria, apart from his Nephew am yet to see who this guys actually mentor.

China was added to bolster viewing coverage stats from the far East... Guess they only allocated one slot to Africa... A toss up between Nigeria and Ghana is a no brainer :dream: ...Abedi and Yeboah?? Simply no global appeal :tic:
