DUBAI, 2 November 2021 – The AC Milan football team is hosting a ‘From Milan to Many: Watch Party’ at Expo 2020 Dubai for its Champions League game on Wednesday against FC Porto.
To help generate excitement and support for the Rossoneri – so-called because of their iconic red-and-black shirts – and with help from Principal Partner Emirates, former 1980s and 1990s AC Milan legend Daniele Massaro will be in attendance, bringing with him the 1993/94 Champions League trophy won by the club, beating Barcelona in the final 4-0 (with Massaro scoring two of the goals). Other memorabilia, such as the boots and shirt he wore during the game, will also be on display.
Catch Massaro and the trophy from 1500-1600 at the Emirates Pavilion, where he will present a signed jersey to the airline and perform a meet and greet. Then from 1630-1730, he will be at the Italy Pavilion, and from 1800-2000 at the Aussie Park five-a-side pitch at the Sports, Fitness and Wellness Hub, where AC Milan has a permanent Academy for the duration of Expo.
The final destination for Massaro will be the Garden on 1 Sports Lounge from 2030 onwards, where the game against FC Porto will be screened, with kick-off at 2145. Entry is free for all visitors who have a valid Expo 2020 Dubai ticket, with fans attending the event receiving a free AC Milan gift.
More watch parties at other destinations around the globe are planned. The trophy accompanying Massaro will remain on display at the Sports, Fitness and Wellbeing Hub for the duration of Expo, while his boots and shirt will be on show at the Garden on 1 Sports Lounge.
