As the title suggests, the charity match “Zico All-Star Game For Peace HIROSHIMA 80 Years,” launched by former Brazilian national team member Zico (72), was held in Hiroshima City, which marks the 80th anniversary of the postwar and the atomic bombing.

“ZICO WORLD LEGEND” and “ZICO JAPAN LEGEND” will face off in the first time in Japan. Legends gathered under Zico, who played for Sumitomo Metals Kashima and Kashima Antlers in Japan and was also the coach of the Japanese national team from 2002 to 2006, and Ronaldinho, who captivated him as the No. 10th in the Spanish first division and the Brazilian national team.

The players were full of big names and were thrilled after the introductions, but the players were kicked off with special rules for 30 minutes each for the first and second half. In the seventh minute of the first half, former Japan national team defender Nakata Koji scored the first goal. The World immediately counterattacked. Former Kashima forward Arcind, who said, “It's only natural if he's a friend,” he snatched the equaliser round from his allies, and former Portuguese national team midfielder Qualesma gained the winning goal. In the first half, World Legends came 2-1.

The charity match celebrated its 20th anniversary last year at Malacanan Stadium, sacred in Rio de Janeiro, Zico's hometown. A portion of the proceeds will be used to support children's soccer environment through the Hiroshima Prefectural Football Association and to support the maintenance and repair of the Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Park through Hiroshima City. It is also planning to donate to the United Nations UNHCR Association to support refugees around the world.
