We’ve found a way to sneak a bit of football into the agenda with the great news that AFTER EARTH stars Jaden Smith and his dad Will Smith will line up alongside a huge array of football greats when they help kick off the annual Ultimate Champions Match, taking place at the UEFA Champions Festival in London this Saturday 25th May.
The 2013 Ultimate Champions Match is a five-a-side tournament which is totally FREE and open to anyone to come along and watch. It’s a unique opportunity to see some of football’s greatest names return to action at the UEFA Champions Festival, a free, public four-day event taking place from Thursday 23rd to Sunday 26th May in the new International Quarter by Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford.
Will and Jaden Smith will stop to greet crowds before they step onto the pitch to help warm up the goalkeepers with a penalty shoot-out and then undertake the coin toss in front of the match official. They are in London to promote the release of their forthcoming film AFTER EARTH which will be at UK cinemas from 7 June. You can read all our coverage so far by clicking here!
