Spain’s most influential sports voice, MARCA, has been confirmed as the Official Media Partner for the Legends Charity Game 2025, holding exclusive coverage rights across the Spanish market.

Set for September 15 in Lisbon, the Legends Charity Game 2025 will bring together football icons for a Portugal Legends vs. World Legends showdown. The match aims to raise €1 million for four selected charities, blending elite sport with a powerful message of unity and social impact, fittingly held in a city set to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

The Legends Charity Game, organised by Sport Global, will raise funds for four organisations: the Ukrainian Red Cross Society, which continues to provide critical aid amid war; the Portuguese Red Cross, delivering support to communities facing hardship; International Alert, a peacebuilding NGO working in conflict zones worldwide; and Caritas Portugal, which supports vulnerable families facing poverty and displacement.

The pitch will host a lineup of football greats, including Luís Figo, Deco, Nuno Gomes, and Carvalho for the Portugal Legends, and global icons like Kaka, Cafu, Puyol, Michael Owen, Del Piero, and Henrik Larsson for the World Legends.

Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC Events and Sport Global Group, which organises the Legends Charity Game, said: “With MARCA on board, we’re able to reach millions of fans and drive real impact for the causes this match supports.

“Their reach, especially in Spain and Latin America, will be key to amplifying our message of hope, unity, and charitable giving.”

As the world’s second most visited sports website, MARCA.com stands as a global titan of sports journalism, attracting over 257 million visits in June alone. Known for its authoritative coverage, deep fan engagement, and expansive reach, MARCA’s involvement in the Legends Charity Game guarantees the event will connect with millions of passionate football fans across Spain and the globe.

The match is expected to attract 50,000 fans to Estádio José Alvalade, and reach millions more through an international broadcast and digital livestream. With a world-class production featuring Champions League-style coverage, the Legends Charity Game is set to become one of the most widely viewed and celebrated charity sporting events of the year.

“MARCA’s involvement ensures Lisbon, and the Legends Charity Game will be at the heart of the global football conversation this September,” Sojmark added.

Under the theme “Perspectives,” a total of 43 compliance staff members from the Merkur Group across various countries gathered from 30 June to 1 July to further develop compliance processes in a sustainable manner. Colleagues from Germany, Spain, England, Malta, Australia and the US traveled to the two-day meeting at Benkhausen Castle, the in-house training centre of the Merkur Group. The workshop set the stage with expert presentations on global and digital topics such as cybersecurity, risk management and artificial intelligence. A panel discussion featuring representatives from various international companies within the Merkur Group, as well as a digital quiz, rounded out the programme.

In keeping with its guiding principle, the workshop focused on sharing experiences, fostering global networking and providing impetus for the further development of compliance processes. Because informal exchanges are also key to close cooperation, the evening programme created a relaxed atmosphere and gave participants the opportunity to continue their conversations, make new connections, and further strengthen team spirit across company and national boundaries.

“The ideas and diverse perspectives gained during the workshop will now be incorporated into our day-to-day work and help us to continuously improve collaboration and existing processes,” said Ludwig Beckmann, Chief Compliance Officer of the Merkur Group.

The concluding feedback session also highlighted just how valuable the international exchange is. The term “collaboration” came up particularly often, a clear indication of how highly the participants value working closely together within the international compliance network.

GRAI Launches New Campaign Helping Parents to Spot the Signs of Underage Gambling

The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) is encouraging parents and guardians to be alert to the signs of gambling among young people and to intervene early to prevent gambling harm.

The signs of gambling aren’t always visible, the GRAI in partnership with the Health Service Executive Addiction Services have developed dedicated advice on www.grai.ie to equip families with the knowledge to recognise the signs, advice on how to start the conversation with their children about gambling, and where to seek help if required.

To support the guidance, the GRAI has launched a national public awareness campaign across video on demand, radio, digital audio, and social media platforms, bringing this message directly to families across Ireland.

With the lines between entertainment and gambling increasingly blurred, especially online, what may look like harmless fun can still involve risk, money and chance in ways that affect young developing brains. Research commissioned by the GRAI and conducted by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) found that children who gamble are twice as likely to develop a gambling problem as adults.

Anne Marie Caulfield, CEO of the GRAI said: “We have launched this campaign to help parents start an important conversation about the risks of underage gambling. Children and young people are among the most at-risk members of Irish society when it comes to gambling exposure and harm. Children’s brains are still developing the judgement and impulse-control systems used to weigh up risk, which makes gambling appealing to them.

“With online gambling available at any time of the day, it is easy for the warning signs to be hidden. The guidance the GRAI developed with the HSE Addiction Services sets out some of the key behavioural signs to look out for in your child.”
