'New' No 7 in sight? Sporting hand over special shirt | OneFootball

As has already become a trademark, Sporting is represented at Rock in Rio, with a stand in one of the festival areas, where it has already welcomed thousands of people. This Sunday, it was Sam The Kid’s turn to visit the Lions’ stand.

During that meeting between the well-known Portuguese rapper and the green-and-white stand, the Club from Alvalade decided to offer a gift that clearly represents the colors of the leonine universe. At a time when the number 7 shirt is vacant in the first-team squad, following Quenda’s transfer to Chelsea, the musician from Chelas chose the iconic number to wear on his back.

Through its social media, the Alvalade club marked the moment. “Sam The Kid wearing green and white at Rock in Rio,” the green-and-whites wrote. It is worth noting that the rapper is an outspoken Sporting supporter and that is precisely why he paid this visit to the stand.

With the first day of the 11th edition of Rock in Rio Lisboa sold out, and thousands of people in attendance, Sporting’s stand has been one of the busiest in the entire festival. The challenges, giveaways, photos with Jubas, and merchandise available have been very appealing factors for visitors.

However, this stand has also been a phenomenon on social media. Just days before the Club’s new symbol is unveiled — which has already generated plenty of discussion — on July 1, the setup put in place by Sporting at the festival has sparked some speculation among the leonine community.
