For fans in Korea, this presents a rare opportunity to see so many footballing legends in one place. According to Nexon, the Icons Match will feature players from its popular football games, FC Online and FC Mobile, specifically from the revered "Icon Class" within these games. The match will pit two teams against each other: FC Spear, composed entirely of forwards, and Shield United, made up solely of defenders. They will face off in a full-length, 90-minute match (two 45-minute halves), in what promises to be a thrilling encounter between attack and defense. A special pre-match event with the players will also be held on October 19th. https://hypebeast.kr/2024/9/nexon-fc-online-fc-mobile-icon-match The star-studded lineup is expected to draw attention not only from Korean football fans but also from international audiences. In a teaser interview released on YouTube, CJamm, host of Shoot for Love, gave a tantalizing preview: “Here’s a short but powerful hint—there are five Ballon d'Or winners, seven top scorers, and 18 Champions League winners between both teams.” https://hypebeast.kr/2024/9/nexon-fc-online-fc-mobile-icon-match The outcome of this highly anticipated match is already a topic of debate. In pre-game interviews, the players have shared their thoughts on which team holds the upper hand. Some lighthearted banter has already begun, with many players backing their own team’s chances. Park Ji-sung, one of Korea’s most celebrated footballers, will act as a coach due to an ongoing knee injury. When asked which team he favors, he humorously replied, “If I had to bet, I’d put my money on the Shield team.” https://www.nexon.com/Home/Game As part of their vision to offer unique ways of enjoying football, Nexon is excited to bring this cultural and sporting event to life.
