On the eve of the UEFA EURO 2016, just before the big kick-off of the European Football Championships for which Hublot is Official Watch, the Swiss watchmaker is bringing together two brand new teams for a historic match. A line-up that football has never seen, and that football fans have always dreamed of. There are moments in football which are eternal, and Hublot is writing one. Leading the teams are Pelé and Diego Maradona, recognized as the best players of all time.
“We have all dreamed of an ideal team, of seeing some of our favorite players come together under the same colors. To see the two biggest rivals of all time team up in a legendary match, buzzing with the passion for football which drives us all, is a real privilege. This match is one of the “off the record” moments that I could have chosen as my favorite “EURO moment.” It is a match which says a lot about Hublot’s involvement and the ties it has woven over the past decade in the world of football, by teaming up with prestigious clubs, star trainers, magicians with the ball and the best leagues,” so says Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot.
Hublot was the first luxury brand to invest in football back in 2008. Now, just a few meters from the Louvre, in the heart of the Palais Royal, two legendary teams will tread this fresh turf. Take the 2 best players of all time, 10 legends and stars of the round ball game, and create 2 teams for a classic friendly match.
