Cristiano Ronaldo to speak at Dubai International Sports Conference

DUBAI -- Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the biggest stars of modern football, will join Bayern Munich ace Robert Lewandowski on the same platform on Sunday, 27th December, 2020, to talk about their respective journeys to the top of the sport at this year’s Dubai International Sports Conference, which will place under the theme, "Football at the Top," at the Armani Hotel in Burj Khalifa.

A Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiative, the conference is being organised by the Dubai Sports Council and has been bringing football’s top stakeholders together since 2006.

This year, the conference will again feature two of the biggest stars of football, Juventus and Portugal ace "El Don" Ronaldo and 2020 FIFA Men’s Player of the Year Lewandowski, alongside leading decision-makers from the world of football.

Ronaldo is a regular visitor to Dubai and counts the city as among his favourite holiday destinations. He has also been a strong supporter of the Dubai International Sports Conference.

A five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or and one of the most decorated players of the modern era, Ronaldo is also a multiple-winner of Dubai Globe Soccer Awards. His many trophies and success at both club and country levels, as well as his list of individual achievements, make him an ideal guest for this year’s conference.

Ronaldo, who has already arrived in Dubai, will talk about his rise to become one of football’s greats while Lewandowski will also detail his journey to the top and talk about his insatiable appetite for goals, which saw him score 55 goals in 47 appearances for Bayern Munich last season, finishing the top goal scorer in the Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal and the Champions League.
