Stars on the field

An evening dedicated to sport, charity, and entertainment at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco, for the now traditional opening event of the weekend dedicated to the Formula One Grand Prix. Edition number 27 for the "World Stars Football Match", the friendly football match that once again pitted the Drivers' National Team against Prince Albert II's Star Team For Children. Also on the field was Vito Popolizio, a veteran of the drivers' team and a permanent fixture in the squad. A minute of silence dedicated to Niki Lauda before kick-off, and then the hotly contested match began, ending with a 3-2 victory for the Prince's team. The proceeds from the evening will be donated to Save the Children International. The next appointment with the Drivers' National Team will be on Wednesday, September 4th, during the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monza.
