KUALA LUMPUR: Former Portugal winger Ricardo Quaresma, who won Euro 2016 alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, will make a special appearance at the All Star Kedah vs All Star Malaysia friendly at the Darul Aman Stadium on April 11.

Kedah FC today described Quaresma's presence as a historic moment for the club.

Kedah FC owner Tan Sri Dr Mohd Daud Bakar said although Quaresma had retired, he has remained active in friendlies and charity events.

The match, organised by Kedah FC, will bring together some of Malaysian football's biggest names, including former internationals and Kedah greats.

Among those set to feature are Azmil Azali, Indra Putra Mahayuddin, A. Jayakanthan, and Mohd Faiz Subri, who won FIFA's Puskas Award in 2016.

Quaresma, known for his flair and trademark trivela shots, stepped in for Ronaldo during the Euro 2016 final after the Portugal captain was forced off with an injury in the 25th minute. Portugal went on to lift the trophy with a 1-0 extra-time win over France.

Kedah will also unveil the official ambassador for their membership programme, The Wing, before kick-off.

Daud urged fans to pack the stadium for the match and support the club.

"You (the fans) have answered our calls in various initiatives, including The Wing membership. This is your chance to be part of another unforgettable moment," he added.
