Portuguese football superstar, Luís Figo, is scheduled to make an appearance during the inaugural Asia Sports Collectors Convention (ASCC), to be held at the Venetian Macao between 8 to 10 December.
Considered to be one of the greatest footballers of his generation, the 51-year-old Luís Figo has had a remarkable career, winning the Ballon d’Or in 2000 and the Golden Foot award in 2011. He retired from professional football in 2009.
The former FC Barcelona and Real Madrid winger will be joined by other big-name footballers, including Christian Vieri, Carles Puyol and Pu Wei.

The sporting legends will be participating in signing sessions and greeting fans over the course of the ASCC, which “combines investment and sports collectibles, covering an area of 8,000 square metres with over 400 card vendors,” a statement from the organiser reads.
Some 5,000 professional buyers are expected to turn out for the exhibition and there will be a variety of activities such as workshops, competitions and card unwrapping.
A one-day ticket for the event costs US$10, although Macao residents are eligible for free admission. Opening hours for the three-day event are between 12:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
