Club Legends Cup

On Saturday July 12th 2014, the day before the FIFA World Cup Final, the prestigious LG Arena will host the inaugural Club Legends Cup in support of Cure Leukaemia.

Legendary players and managers of yesteryear from Aston Villa, Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion, Coventry City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Walsall along with two more mystery teams will lock horns in a unique indoor football tournament. It's unique because fans all over the Midlands will have the chance to become legends for the day.

Fans will have the opportunity to bid for five places in each squad along with the manager’s position giving them the chance to line up next to or coach their heroes for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Previous former player football tournaments have proved hugely successful over the last decade but at this event the fans will be participants as well as spectators. One fan from each team will have to be on the pitch at all times joining the likes of Matt Murray, Lee Hendrie, Darren Purse, Darren Moore, Michael Johnson and many more legends of Midlands football. Also, after each match the fan members of each team will then have their own penalty shoot out in front of a packed arena.

Lucky children will also have the chance to play in the LG Arena in ‘The Little Legends Cup’ supported by Footie Bugs that will take place earlier in the day. In addition, we will hold a ‘Ladies Legends’ match as a precursor to the Club Legends Cup. More details will follow nearer the time.
