Ronaldinho and Roberto Carlos assembled squads that could lay claim to being the most star-studded in the history of exhibition games, with fellow Brazilians Cafu, Rivaldo, Eder Militao and Vinicius all joining them on the roster.

Current stars including Paul Pogba, Paulo Dybala, Weston McKennie, Alphonso Davies, Radamel Falcao also got call-ups alongside legends such as Carlos Valderrama, Rene Higuita, Rafa Marquez and Patrick Kluivert.

The recruitment strategy was not limited to just footballers, either. Brooklyn Nets head coach Nash, former NFL wide receiver Ochocinco and Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro were also involved.
