Sergio Agüero, the former Manchester City striker, has confirmed his participation in The Soccer Tournament, a 7-on-7 event with a $1 million prize for the winner, set to take place this summer.

Scheduled to run from June 5-10, the tournament will be held in Cary, North Carolina, providing a platform for Agüero to showcase his skills and competitive spirit once again.

TST founder and CEO Jon Mugar expressed his excitement about Agüero’s involvement, highlighting the player’s exceptional talent and unwavering determination on the field.

Despite retiring in 2021 and moving to Barcelona, Agüero’s passion for the game remains evident as he gears up to participate in this high-stakes tournament.

The Argentine striker’s decision to join the event comes after a health scare during a match with Alavés, where he was forced to retire due to chest pains, making his return to competitive play all the more remarkable.
