Footballcomes back to Bangkok on 31 January – 1 February 2026, bringing the world’s best footballers to the fairways for another unforgettable showdown
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Robinswood Golf Course, 24 of the most iconic former footballers made up of Champions League, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and World Cup winners, will trade boots for golf clubs in an unforgettable showdown. Two teams of 12, representing Team England and Team World, will compete across a fast-paced 10-hole format, delivering drama, rivalry, and spectacle from the first tee shot to the last putt. Broadcast globally, fans will be able to follow every moment live on multiple platforms, while those in Bangkok can experience it all in person.
Team England: Mr Chelsea John Terry, the superstar captain who lifted every major domestic honour, returns alongside Arsenal icon Theo Walcott, one of the Premier League’s fastest and most exciting forwards. Both were key figures in England’s emphatic victory last year.John Terry “Lifting the Icons Trophy with Team England last year was special, but now the target is on our backs. I can’t wait to get back out there and defend the title. It’s competitive, it’s fun, and it’s like nothing else I’ve ever played in.”
Team World: The magician Gianfranco Zola, adored by fans for his artistry and flair, joins forces with Argentina’s all-time great Gabriel Batistuta, one of the most feared strikers of his generation. Together, they aim to swing the momentum back in Team World’s favour. Further players will be revealed in the coming weeks, but the stage is already set for a rivalry that promises to be even fiercer than last year. Gianfranco Zola (Team World): “Football gave us rivalries that defined careers, and now Icons brings those rivalries to golf. Last year was just a taste. In 2026 we’ll be sharper, stronger, and I can promise Team World will come back fighting. England may have bragging rights for now, but history won’t repeat itself.”
