Gilles Simon, a longtime commentator and now team captain, expressed his enthusiasm: "Being part of this Final Stage - whether as a consultant, player, or now as a team captain - is always a huge honour for me. I am very excited about this new competition format and determined to prove to the other captain that my years of experience in the game will give my team a real advantage."
