| NEWSThe Rest of the World came to Europe and conquered at the FEL All-Star Day as the competition’s best foreign players teamed up to defeat their European counterparts, 84:91 in Kiev at the sold-out Sports Palace.
No expense was spared in the show which was enjoyed by luminaries such as Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma and former Olympic Champion Sergey Bubka. |

Those in attendance got to see the Rest of the World defeat Europe 84:91 in a thrilling contest that went right down to the last minute. The game itself was the highlight in what the organisers promised would be a “10 million dollar show”. From the opening night’s “Rasminka” (or warm-up) party to the post game celebration, that is exactly what they provided. |
