Cubeia is raising the stakes at ICE Barcelona 2026, bringing together the thrill of poker and the star power of football in one unmissable experience. The Sweden-based iGaming software developer is hosting an exclusive VIP poker game at Stand 2R10, where two legendary football players will join the action.
A raffle on Day 1 of the event will give attendees the chance to win a coveted seat at the poker table. Winners will not only face off against football icons but could also walk away with major prizes if they manage to beat them.
Cubeia’s event blends sport and skill in a way that captures the company’s flair for innovation. Attendees can also take part in Cubeia’s popular raffle, featuring large LEGO sets and other exclusive giveaways. Throughout the show, guests are invited to enjoy beer, champagne, and networking at the stand.
The exact timing of the VIP poker match will be announced closer to the event. Updates will be posted on Cubeia’s LinkedIn and Instagram pages.
Beyond the celebrity poker event, ICE visitors can explore Cubeia Originals Studio’s growing game portfolio. The lineup includes fan favourites and new releases such as Chicken Cross Tower, Multiplier Roulette, Baccarat, Blackjack, and Snakes, titles that showcase Cubeia’s focus on originality and player engagement.
Cubeia’s Marketing and Event Coordinator Tove Nilsson teased the event’s exclusivity.
“Something extraordinary is coming to ICE Barcelona, and it’s happening right here at Cubeia’s stand (2R10),” Nilsson said.
“If you love the thrill of poker, the glory of football, and the excitement of being part of something truly exclusive, you’ll want to stay close.”
Nilsson added that the event is designed to unite “the spirit of the game with the presence of legends,” creating what she described as “a once-in-a-lifetime VIP experience.”
ICE Barcelona is one of the iGaming industry’s most influential expos, attracting thousands of professionals from across the globe. For Cubeia, this event is an opportunity to strengthen its brand presence, showcase innovation in online poker, and connect with industry leaders and operators. The addition of football icons brings crossover appeal, blending two of Europe’s biggest passions, gaming and sport, into a single headline moment.

Most of my career was spent in teaching including at one of the UK’s top private schools. I left London in 2000 and set up home in Wales raising four beautiful children. I enrolled at University where I studied Photography and film and gained a Degree and subsequently a Masters Degree. In 2014 I helped launch a new local newspaper and managed to get front and back page as well as 6 filler pages on a weekly basis. I saw that journalism was changing and was a pioneer of hyperlocal news in Wales. In 2017 I started one of the first 24/7 free independent news sites for Wales. Having taken that to a successful business model I was keen for a new challenge. Joining the company is exciting for me especially as it is a new role in Europe. I am keen to establish myself and help others to do the same.
