Mission statement of the Event
To deliver a high quality 11v11 pre-season event within a development-orientated environment. Hosted at an outstanding facility, we aim to offer all the necessary preparation, match/training and recovery facilities with a competitive fixture programme.

The Tournament format
Teams are split into groups and play out the group phase of the 11v11 tournament on day two. All teams are then seeded into semi-finals for day three based on the final group standings. Regardless of the result of the semi-finals, each team then competes in a final which concludes the tournament, ensuring the competitive spirit
is retained until the very final whistle. The top two seeded teams from the semi-finals ultimately compete for the cup, while other final fixtures will decide the winners of the trophy, plate and shield. Games are 60 minutes in duration with a half-time. This tournament is exclusive to EPPP clubs and the international equivilant.All fixtures are fully officiated by county football association registered officials.
