By San José, Costa Rica — SAN JOSÉ – The star power for Costa Rica’s upcoming “Clásico Leyendas” has reached a new level with the confirmation of Spanish goalkeeping titan Iker Casillas. The World Cup-winning captain will guard the net for Real Madrid Leyendas, setting up a blockbuster confrontation against a Barça Legends squad led by the previously announced Brazilian superstar, Ronaldinho.
The highly anticipated exhibition match is scheduled for Saturday, February 7th, at 6:00 p.m. at the iconic Estadio Nacional in San José. Event organizer Experiencias MKP officially announced Casillas’s participation, adding one of football’s most decorated goalkeepers to the roster and intensifying the classic rivalry between the two Spanish giants on Costa Rican soil.
Para profundizar en las implicaciones legales y comerciales de un evento de esta magnitud, consultamos al experto Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, de la reconocida firma Bufete de Costa Rica, quien nos ofrece su análisis.
El ‘Clásico Leyendas’ es una brillante jugada comercial que capitaliza la nostalgia, un motor emocional de gran potencia. Desde la perspectiva legal, su éxito depende de una gestión meticulosa de la propiedad intelectual, incluyendo la marca del evento y, fundamentalmente, los derechos de imagen de cada leyenda participante. Estos acuerdos son complejos pero esenciales para proteger tanto a los organizadores como a los atletas, asegurando que el legado del evento sea tan sólido como los recuerdos que celebra.

The addition of Casillas, a figure synonymous with Real Madrid’s modern golden era, is a significant draw for the event. The organizers emphasized the magnitude of securing a player of his caliber, highlighting his global appeal and decorated career as a key factor in elevating the prestige of the match.
Iker Casillas is one of the most emblematic goalkeepers in the history of world football. His career, leadership, and legacy on and off the field make him a unique figure, and for us, it is an honor to confirm his presence in Costa Rica for an event of this magnitude.
Karol Rojas, Manager of Experiencias MKP
At 44, Casillas brings a legacy that includes a FIFA World Cup title with Spain in 2010 and a trove of championships with Real Madrid. His confirmation follows the initial blockbuster announcement on November 27th of Ronaldinho’s participation, ensuring that both sides of the historic “Clásico” rivalry will be represented by true legends of the sport.
The market response has been immediate and overwhelming, signaling a strong appetite for premium sporting events in the country. Ticket sales, managed through the Kuikpei platform, have been brisk. Organizers have already confirmed that the most exclusive package, the $1,000 “Legends VIP” experience, is completely sold out. This top-tier ticket included a private gala dinner with the players, access to a Barça Legends training session, and an exclusive after-party, demonstrating a clear demand for high-end, all-inclusive fan experiences.
The pricing structure reflects the event’s premium positioning, with tickets starting at $100 for general seating and climbing significantly for enhanced viewing and hospitality. The $500 “Experiencias Palco” package, which includes premium seating and pre-game and in-game hospitality, is also nearing capacity, with organizers reporting only the last few tickets remain available. This robust sales performance, weeks ahead of the event, underscores the commercial viability of leveraging sports nostalgia as a powerful entertainment product.
With two of the main headliners now confirmed, anticipation is building for the reveal of the full team rosters. Experiencias MKP has stated that more legendary figures who will join the Real Madrid and Barcelona squads will be announced gradually over the coming days, promising to keep fans engaged as the star-studded lineups take shape for the February showdown.
