On June 3, 2026, members of the motorsport community will take to the football pitch for the Racing Stars Football Cup. The charity match in Monaco brings together drivers and personalities for an exhibition game.
The event pits the local Barbagiuans de Monaco team against the Nazionale Piloti, a squad comprising racing professionals. For viewers, the match provides an opportunity to see figures from the track in a different sporting environment.
The starting line-up
While the match involves the motorsport community, not all Formula 1 drivers will participate. The line-up consists of a rotating roster of drivers who choose to volunteer alongside other athletes and celebrities.
This year, Brazilian football player Ronaldinho will participate in the match. He is scheduled to play for the Barbagiuans de Monaco.
The event aims to raise funds for medical and healthcare initiatives. Proceeds from the 2026 match will be directed to Mercy Ships, an organisation providing hospital ships and free surgeries in developing countries, and Les Soins de l’Espoir, a Monaco-based charity that supports medical care in Southeast Asia.
