MILAN GLORIE HEADS TO GEORGIA FOR SPORT FOR CHANGE

Milan Glorie returns to the field. The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 21 in Georgia at 7:00 PM local time (5:00 PM in Italy) at the Mikheil Meskhi Stadium in Tbilisi, where the Rossoneri team will challenge the Georgia Legends. It will be a special celebration, part of the Club’s 125th Anniversary festivities, featuring many champions who have written important pages of AC Milan‘s history – former teammates who have shared locker rooms, victories, and unforgettable success stories: from Kaká to Rivaldo, from Seedorf to Cafu, and of course, Kakhaber Kaladze, who will host them for this special event.

Kaladze, born in Samtredia, has been the mayor of Tbilisi since 2017. A true Milanista, and the winner of 2 Champions League titles, 2 UEFA Super Cups, 1 Club World Cup, 1 Serie A title, 1 Coppa Italia, and 1 Italian Super Cup from 2001 to 2010, he will take the field with both teams. Speaking about his emotions ahead of the match, he said: “I am very happy about this opportunity, being able to reunite with people with whom I spent wonderful years. AC Milan has given me so much, both as a man and as a footballer. I am proud to have worn the Rossoneri jersey, and I always cheer for them: Forza Milan sempre!”

In addition to bringing together many champions from the past, the match will also serve as a significant demonstration of the Rossoneri family’s continued commitment to addressing important social issues. Part of the proceeds from the match and the auctions for the jerseys worn by the AC Milan and Georgian legends during the game will be donated by Fondazione Milan to support its international Sport for Change program, which uses sport as a tool for social inclusion, growth, and positive change for many young people living in vulnerable social environments.

In the 2023/24 season alone, the Sport for Change program impacted the lives of over 3,000 beneficiaries in Italy and around the world, through 15 initiatives across five continents, reaching countries such as Brazil, the United States, India, and Kenya, as well as Uganda, Pakistan, and Syria.

The match will be broadcast live on the AC Milan Official App and Milan TV from 5:00 PM Italian time on Saturday, September 21.
