Real Madrid Batal Datang, Barcelona Bakal Lawan DRX World Legend Pimpinan Ronaldo Nazario

JAKARTA - Real Madrid Legend is confirmed to not come to Indonesia to attend the exhibition match against Barcelona Legend. Instead, the Blaugrana veterans will face an equally exciting opponent.

The cancellation of the arrival of the Real Madrid Legend to Indonesia is related to the conflict in the West Asian region. The Los Blancos side, which has a work agreement with the Emirates Airlines airline, has not flown to the Indonesian region.

Even though they will not face Real Madrid Legends, Barcelona Legend will still play a match on April 18, 2026 at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Jakarta, against DRX World Legends led by Ronaldo Nazario de Lima.

Senyawa Entertainment, Mpro International, and Dewa United - as promoters - conveyed the biggest apology to Real Madrid fans in Indonesia for the situation. Therefore, they still try to bring Ronaldo.

"We understand the expectations of the fans, especially Real Madrid fans who expect the presence of their favorite team."

"Therefore, even though it is not wrapped with the team's name, these Real Madrid legends are still committed to being in Jakarta."

"We have also announced the line-up of Barcelona Legend and DRX World Legends players who will appear on April 18," said Senyawa Entertainment CEO, Reza Subekti, at a press conference at SUGBK, Jakarta, on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, afternoon WIB.

The prestigious match will be special with the presence of Pierluigi Collina as the main referee. He is a legendary figure widely known for his firmness, integrity, and leadership in various world football events.

"We ensure that this event continues to present the highest quality. Not only maintaining, but also expanding the experience by presenting more world legends in one match," said Reza.

DRX World Legends under the direction of Ronaldo Nazario as manager is also a team full of stars. The reason is that the team will be strengthened by Del Piero (Italy), Sebastian Frey (France), David Silva (Spain), Keisuke Honda (Japan), to Franck Ribery (France).

Meanwhile, the Barcelona legends expected to come to Indonesia are Jesus Angoy, Vitor Baia, Sergi Barjuan, Fernando Navarro, Martin Montoya, Marc Valiente, Philipe Christanval, Andreu Fontas, Juan Pablo Sorin, Roberto Trashorras, Philip Cocu, Marc Crosas, Christian Tello, Rivaldo, Patrick Kluivert, Jonatan Soriano, Ricardo Quaresma, and Javier Saviola.

The DRX World Legends team will also be strengthened by several former Indonesian football players, such as Irfan Bachdim, Arthur Irawan, Ismed Sofyan, Maman Abdurrahman, Greg Nwokolo, Ponaryo Astaman, and Yoo Jae-hoon.
