French great Zinedine Zidane will lead a group of European football stars on a tour of Canada. The Zidane & Friends Canadian Soccer Tour features a series of rare exhibition games to be played around Canada with the help of some of Zidane's friends from his illustrious career.
Names such as Alessandro Costacurta, Franco Baresi, Ludovic Giuly, Samuel Eto'o, Gennaro Gattuso, Dado Prso and Arrigo Sacchi will join the World Cup winner in taking the game to Canada.
One club who will benefit from this is Vancouver-based Adlani Football Club who will host one of the matches to be played against the Vancouver All-Star Team which will be selected by coaches Ahcene Adlani and Frank Cucca.
"We are thrilled at the prospect of bringing this tour to Canada," says Adlani, founder and director of Adlani Football Club.
"Our Canadian players will have the match of their lives as Zidane & Friends bring some of the best players in the world to our doorstep."
The match against the Vancouver All-Star Team takes place on Saturday July 4 at 8:00pm at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
