It is the jewel in Saudi Arabia's football crown, a government-sponsored sports and entertainment festival. Football was not the main attraction of the event when it began in 2019. It is a friendly tournament and reached its peak popularity in 2023 when Messi and Ronaldo faced off in a match that PSG won 5-4 against the Saudi All-Star XI they led. Marcelo Gallardo.
This year's format of the cup is different, instead of it being a direct match between Inter Miami and Al-Nassr, nicknamed “The Last Dance”, it will be a triangular match with Al Hilal. Each team will play against the other and the team with the most points at the end of the phase will be crowned the winner of the tournament.
