Welcome to the most exclusive football gathering on the planet. For one spectacular week in March 2027, 15 legendary players and passionate fans from across the globe will converge in Finland’s breathtaking Arctic Lakeland.
This is far more than just a weekend. It is an immersive, week-long expedition blending world-class football heritage with the raw beauty of the Finnish winter. Expect the unexpected: share a traditional Finnish sauna with your heroes, experience the thrill of husky safaris under the northern skies, and witness The Snow Football Match, a first-of-its-kind football match played entirely on snow.
The week also features the exclusive Red Room Pop-Up which will bring a world-renowned private museum experience directly to the Arctic. Not to forget a red-carpet Premiere event for the world premiere of John Gubba’s highly anticipated documentary.
This isn’t just a VIP ticket. It’s a shared adventure. Join us.
