Betano Summer of Football Continues with Legends 2004 vs UEFA All Stars Game
Athens, Malta, 12 July 2024 – Betano‘s Summer of Football continued, with Kaizen Gaming‘s premium brand supporting the 20th anniversary celebration of Greece’s historic and surprising win of UEFA EURO 2004.
The celebratory friendly match saw players from the 2004 Greek National team compete as the Legends 2004 against the UEFA ALL STARS in Stoiximan (the brand Kaizen Gaming operates in Greece and Cyprus) and Betano branded shirts respectively.
Celebrating 20 years since the biggest surprise in UEFA EURO’s history, the friendly match between the two star-studded teams saw players including Ballon d’Or Winner, Luís Figo, Sol Campbell, Claude Makélélé, Clarence Seedorf, and heroes from Greece’s triumph like Thodoris Zagorakis and Angelos Charisteas battle it out. The Legends 2004 initially took the lead with Stelios Giannakopoulos in the 15th minute, but second half goals from Figo and Luis Garcia gave the 2-1 win to the UEFA All Stars.
Played at the An der Hafenstrasse Stadium in Essen (Stadion Essen), the game also paid tribute to the architect of Greece’s triumph, Otto Rehhagel, who was born in the German city.

We are proud to sponsor the match through Betano and Stoiximan and have such illustrious footballing icons wearing shirts bearing the two brands. This is a huge testament to our team’s hard work and continued commitment at Kaizen Gaming.”
