Multi-asset broker TenTrade announces partnership with Ballon d'Or winner and Champions League champion Luis Figo, marking the launch of its 'Inspiring the Next Number 10' initiative.
NICOSIA, Cyprus, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TenTrade, the FSA regulated multi-asset CFD and forex broker has announced Luis Figo as its Global Brand Ambassador. Figo, who won the Ballon d'Or and the Champions League, is widely regarded as one of the finest footballers of his generation. During a career that spanned Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and the Portuguese national team — for whom he earned 127 caps — Figo became synonymous with vision, conviction and performing at the highest level under pressure.
Athos Agathocleous, Rasheed Altoun and Andreas Samatas, TenTrade Partners, said: "Luis Figo built his career on the same principles we build our platform around — precision, discipline and the courage to make the right move at the right moment. This is a partnership that makes sense beyond the headlines. Figo does not associate his name with things he does not believe in. The fact that he chose TenTrade says something about where this company and brand is headed."
The partnership launches alongside TenTrade's 'Inspiring the Next Number 10' initiative — a commitment to grassroots football development in Latin America and Africa, targeting underprivileged young players who have the talent but lack the access and resources to develop it. The programme will work with local academies to provide coaching support, equipment and scouting opportunities.
Figo said: Discipline, focus, and making the right decisions under pressure is what being a No:10 is all about. I'm proud to be associated with a brand that not only believes in these values, but follows them. TenTrade serves over 150,000 active traders across global markets, offering access to forex, commodities, indices, shares and cryptocurrencies through MetaTrader5. The broker operates both a traditional brokerage model and a funded trader programme — one of the few platforms to offer both within a single ecosystem.
Funded accounts range from $43 registration fee entry level up to $500,000 in allocated capital, with a 70% profit share, biweekly payouts and withdrawals processed within 48 hours.
The broker also provides copy trading, a PAMM programme and a comprehensive education offering through our "learning Hub'.

Skål International Kuala Lumpur has achieved a historic milestone by being named Skål International Asia Club of the Year 2026, the highest recognition awarded to a Skål club in the Asian region, at the 55th Skål International Asia Congress held in Macau.
The prestigious accolade marks the first time the Kuala Lumpur club has received the honour since its establishment in 1958, ending a remarkable 68-year wait and placing the Malaysian chapter among the region's most outstanding tourism industry organisations.
Selected from 42 Skål clubs across Asia, the award recognises excellence in leadership, member engagement, industry contribution, club activities, growth initiatives, networking, and commitment to advancing tourism and hospitality within the region.
The achievement represents a significant moment not only for Skål International Kuala Lumpur but also for Malaysia's tourism industry, highlighting the country's growing influence and leadership within the regional tourism community.
Commenting on the achievement, Mahendran Daniel, President of Skål International Kuala Lumpur, said:

"I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to our Board of Directors, members, partners, and supporters who have worked tirelessly to elevate the profile of our club and contribute positively to the tourism industry. This award reflects the collective efforts of an incredible team."
The recognition comes at a particularly significant time as Skål International Kuala Lumpur prepares to host the 56th Skål International Asia Congress 2027, which will take place from 27 to 30 May 2027 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Held under the theme "Bridging Asia. Empowering Global Tourism.", the congress is expected to attract tourism leaders, hospitality executives, destination marketers, travel professionals, government representatives, and industry stakeholders from across Asia and beyond.
The four-day programme will feature high-level networking sessions, tourism forums, business-to-business engagements, cultural experiences, destination showcases, and strategic discussions focused on strengthening regional tourism cooperation and growth.
Mahendran Daniel added:
"This award gives us tremendous momentum as we prepare to welcome Skålleagues and tourism leaders from across Asia to Kuala Lumpur in 2027. We look forward to showcasing Malaysia's renowned hospitality, vibrant culture, world-class tourism offerings, and our vision for stronger regional collaboration."
"Hosting the 56th Skål International Asia Congress presents a unique opportunity to bring together the region's tourism community, foster meaningful partnerships, and contribute to the future development of tourism across Asia."
As one of Asia's longest-established Skål clubs, Skål International Kuala Lumpur has played an active role in supporting tourism development, professional networking, and industry collaboration for nearly seven decades.
The Club of the Year recognition further strengthens Kuala Lumpur's position as a leading destination for tourism, business events, and international industry gatherings, while reinforcing Malaysia's commitment to fostering tourism excellence and regional cooperation.
Skål International Kuala Lumpur expressed its appreciation to Skål International Asia, the judging panel, club members, industry partners, and supporters whose contributions made the achievement possible.
