Football Legends was created by Side Effects Productions (SIDEFX) in 2005, with the main focus of organising football matches between international teams, both national and clubs level, in South East Asia. During that period, there was huge appeal for this type of matches in the People’s Republic of China, where the vast number of football die hard fans did not have the opportunity to watch world class football.

Almost 2 decades later, SIDEFX is now launching internationally in cooperation with several national football federations and clubs, a series of “Football Legends” events.  These Legends are the way to recognises all those who have achieved something significant in the game of football, taking into account respective achievements linked to domestic and international careers. Leading by example is vital in football and the stars who have inspired millions of fans in the past can make a difference as role models for future generations.
