size and format. Saki responds within 24 hours with a custom proposal in AUD, USD or EUR. Pricing starts from AUD $1,900 (1,150 €) for private events; AUD $2,800 (1,700 €) for

Q.Why does the CR7 effect work so strongly in Australia?
A.Australia's extraordinary multiculturalism is
the key. Greek, Italian, Croatian, Serbian, Portuguese and Macedonian communities built Australian football culture from the 1950s onwards — through heritage NSL
clubs like South Melbourne Hellas, Marconi Stallions, Sydney Olympic, Adelaide City, Melbourne Knights and APIA Leichhardt. South Asian Australians (the fastest-growing
demographic) follow CR7 with the same intensity as fans in Mumbai or Colombo. Middle Eastern, African, Latin American and Southeast Asian communities all share the same
connection. Plus a massive Manchester United supporter base across Australia personally connects to CR7's Old Trafford era.
Q.Can Saki perform at A-League events?
A.Yes. Football freestyle shows are ideal for halftime
entertainment, fan zone activations, sponsor hospitality and pre-match entertainment at A-League Men & Women venues. Available for Sydney FC (Allianz Stadium),

the Gabba.
Q.Is the show suitable for multicultural Australian weddings?
A.Absolutely. A CR7 lookalike performing football freestyle is one
of the most unique acts you can book for Greek-Australian, Italian-Australian, Lebanese-Australian, Croatian-Australian, Portuguese-Australian, South Asian
(sangeet/wedding) and pan-Australian celebrations. Family-friendly, culturally adaptable. Perfect for venues from Doltone House and The Grounds of Alexandria to Hunter

Q.How does the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 legacy affect football in
Australia?
A.The FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 transformed Australian football.
Stadium Australia, Marvel Stadium, Brisbane Stadium, Hindmarsh Stadium and Perth Rectangular Stadium all sold out. The Matildas became national heroes. Football
is now the largest participation team sport in Australia — over 1.8 million regular players. Mainstream media coverage has multiplied. Sponsor investment has
surged. The momentum continues — making this the prime moment to book premium football entertainment for Australian events.

services. The Australia-Germany Tax Treaty is applicable for income tax considerations. Tax residency certificate (TRC) provided. ABN considerations: foreign
