OPPO Global Brand Ambassador Kaka meets fans at UEFA Champions League final

Global Brand Ambassador and footballing legend Kaka joined OPPO in Istanbul to meet up with fans ahead of the UEFA Champions League final at the weekend.

The former AC Milan and Real Madrid midfielder joined fans in the exclusive OPPO Hospitality Tent in the Champions Village and at the OPPO Booth outside the Atatürk Olympic Stadium bringing elevated UEFA Champions League experiences to fans during the highly anticipated final.

Speaking at the events, Kaka said: “It has been an incredible experience to return to Istanbul together with OPPO to witness the crowning of a new champion at the 2023 UEFA Champions League final."

"Once again, we have seen miracles made both on and off the pitch here. Together with OPPO, I look forward to inspiring football fans around the world to make their own miracles too.”

That 'new champion' would be Manchester City, who completed a historic treble by beating Inter 1-0 in Istanbul thanks to a wonderful goal from midfielder Rodri.

In the moments before kick-off for the big game, Kaka met up with his old friend Luis García several years after ‘Miracle of Istanbul’. The two players reminisced about their fated encounter on the same soil in 2005 and took photos with the OPPO Find X6 Pro to commemorate their reunion and wish their luck to the two teams competing to be crowned this year’s UEFA Champions League winners. 

“We are delighted to complete the first season of our Global partnership with OPPO, a brand with whom we share a passion for inspiration and innovation," said Guy-Laurent Epstein, Marketing Director at UEFA.

“I am confident that our collaboration will seamlessly unite the spirit of the UEFA Champions League with OPPO's exceptional products and cutting-edge technology and bring even more exciting experiences to fans.”

Through its partnerships with some of the world’s most prestigious sporting events, OPPO is delivering on its commitment to bring unique experiences to sports fans across the globe. Together with its global brand ambassador Kaká, football fans, and its worldwide userbase, OPPO has witnessed the crowning of a new champion and countless inspiring moments at the 2023 UEFA Champions League final.

As the official global partner of the UEFA Champions League, OPPO will continue to capture and celebrate more remarkable moments in this renowned competition as it gets ready for the kick-off of next season’s competition this summer.
