Football fans tuning in to Barcelona’s match against Getafe on Wednesday, September 25, may have noticed something unexpected on the billboards – the logo for Dave’s highly-anticipated Santan Cup.
The UK rapper’s annual football tournament, which debuted in 2017, is known for uniting some of the biggest names in music, sports, and entertainment. And if the recent signage at the Barcelona Olympic Stadium is anything to go by, the next edition is just around the corner.
The Santan Cup has quickly become a standout event in football culture, with past tournaments drawing a star-studded lineup. Previous participants have included global heavyweights like Stormzy, Jack Harlow, Clint, Krept & Konan, Bukayo Saka, and even Inter Milan legend Adriano, who famously made an appearance during the 2022 Rio de Janeiro edition.
This year’s edition seems to be ramping up for something even bigger, with Spotify’s “Who We Be” playlist now co-curated by Dave in the lead-up to the event. While official details are still under wraps, the merging of music and football in Dave’s tournament promises another unforgettable spectacle.
