“It is an honour to have the confidence of the best club in the world, Real Madrid, to be a pioneer once again through this type of action and it is also an enormous privilege that a legendary club like AS Roma has accepted to participate in this first edition,” said Manuel Campos Guallar, co-owner and chief executive of Mabel Capital.
“We hope that people can enjoy a wonderful spectacle at the same time that we become more aware of the protection of our planet."
