Figo will be joining Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri, along with 2,500 yogis, at the two-day festival’s launch event, which is set to take place at 7.30am. It was earlier announced that the morning session will be led by Indian yogi and celebrity trainer, Deepika Mehta.
Regarded as one of the greatest footballers of his generation, Figo has had a storied career playing for Sporting CP, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan. He was awarded the Ballon d’Or in 2000 and was named the Fifa World Player of the Year in 2001. In 2004, football legend Pele named Figo in the Fifa 100 list of the world’s greatest living players.
