Ronaldinho and Mr Thank You join Monaco’s winning night at the Racing Stars Football Cup
Monaco once again became a magnet for global names from sport, business, and entertainment as the prestigious Racing Stars Football Cup returned to the legendary Stade Louis-II.
The annual charity match brought together an impressive mix of football icons, motorsport figures, entrepreneurs, celebrities, and influential personalities, turning the event into far more than a game. In Monaco, football once again became a meeting point between different industries, generations, and worlds of influence.
This year, Monaco celebrated a standout victory — with Ronaldinho and entrepreneur Sergey Kosenko, internationally known as Mr Thank You, among those on the winning side.
For Ronaldinho, the evening became another reminder of why he remains one of football’s most admired and charismatic figures. The Brazilian legend once again brought his signature energy to the pitch, sharing the field with former athletes, public figures, and entrepreneurs brought together by the spirit of the event.
At the center of the occasion was Monaco, the team led by Louis Ducruet, a member of Monaco’s Princely Family and nephew of Prince Albert II. Over the years, the organization has built a strong identity by combining football with philanthropy, and it continues to represent Monaco’s ability to unite high-profile names around meaningful causes.
The event also carried its traditional connection to the world of motorsport. As in previous editions, the Racing Stars Football Cup welcomed well-known figures linked to Formula 1 and international racing, adding another layer to Monaco’s unique sporting culture. Few places in the world create this kind of crossover so naturally — where football legends and racing personalities can step onto the same field during one of the principality’s most high-profile periods of the year.
For Sergey Kosenko, or Mr Thank You, the match marked another visible international appearance in a setting defined by prestige, visibility, and influence. Known to millions around the world as an entrepreneur and content creator, he joined the event alongside some of the most recognizable names in sport.
His presence also reflected a broader shift in how modern influence is defined. Today, a new generation of entrepreneurs is moving beyond traditional business spaces and becoming part of global conversations around culture, sport, philanthropy, and public life. In that sense, Mr Thank You’s participation was not simply symbolic — it reflected the increasing overlap between entrepreneurship, media, and high-level international events.
But the Racing Stars Football Cup was never only about the result. More importantly, it reflected the values Monaco continues to project to the world: excellence, connection, generosity, and the power of bringing exceptional people together in one place.
Events like this show that football remains one of the few truly universal languages — one capable of connecting industries, backgrounds, and generations. From Ronaldinho, one of the game’s most beloved legends, to entrepreneurs like Mr Thank You, the match highlighted how public influence can be used not only to entertain, but also to create memorable experiences and support larger causes.
For Dubai People, the story is also about international presence. From Dubai to Monaco, Mr Thank You continues to expand his global profile by appearing at events where business, celebrity culture, sport, and philanthropy intersect.
Monaco’s victory became one of the key highlights of the evening — but more than that, the event once again proved why Monaco remains one of the world’s most distinctive destinations for bringing together legends, leaders, and modern changemakers.
