The FIFA Legends Cup has taken place at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex in Doha, Qatar. The tournament was staged on the 15th and 16th of December (the free days between the World Cup semi finals and the third place match) and it featured eight teams, 18 matches, and nearly 100 Fifa legends.

Legends like Kaka, Roberto Carlos, John Terry, Sunday Oliseh, Michael Essien, Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Mikael Silvestre were placed into 8 teams and these 8 teams were further divided into 2 groups. Group A consisted of the African Lions, Northern Bears, East Tigers, and Arab Falcons, while Group B had the European Wolves, South American Panther, European Dragons and South American Eagles.

The women were not left out. 4-time African Women's Footballer of the Year, Perpetua Nkwocha, 2015 African Women Footballer of the Year, Gaelle Enganamouit and American star Kristine Lilly, were some of the female legends that took part in the competition.

The South American Panthers won the competition, defeating the Northern Bears 5-3. Uruguayan legend Diego Forlan scored a hat-trick for the Panthers. The referee was Pier Luigi Colina.

Here are photos from the competition.

Yakubu Aiyegbeni scores as African Lions lose 10-7 to East Tigers in FIFA Legends game

December 16, 2022 8:47 AM

Former Super Eagles of Nigeria striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni was in action in a FIFA Legends fixture played on Thursday, December 15, 2022.

Aiyegbeni featured for the African Lions with former Super Eagles captain and member of FIFA Technical crew Sunday Oliseh.

Aiyegbeni and Oliseh joined former Super Falcons of Nigeria captain Perpetua Nkwocha as part of the African Lions squad.

Other notable names on the squad were El Hadji Diouf of Senegal, Michael Essien of Ghana, Yaya Toure, and Didier Drogba of Ivory Coast.

Yakubu took to social media to post a picture along with Essien and Australia's Tim Cahill after the game.

Nkwocha posted photos on his official social media and posed with Yakubu, Toure, Diouf, and John Terry.

Along with the photos was a message that said, "Good to be here for the @fifa Legends Cup. Happy to meet my great friends and legends of the game once again."

Yakubu featured for the African Lions as they suffered a 10-7 loss to the East Tigers.

Yakubu was one of the goal scorers for the African Lions at the FIFA tournament finding the back of the net from close range.

It was a replica of the chance he missed for the Super Eagles in the 2-2 draw against South Korea in their final group game at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

Yakubu after the FIFA Legends game posed for pictures as the African Lions moved forward with other group rivals the Nothern Bears and Arab Falcons.
