The U.K’s leading Easter youth football tournament

is played in the heart of the world renowned home

of football -

Manchester, England. Only

a short journey from Old

Trafford, Etihad Stadium

and the National Football

Museum.

The tournament is a stage

for teams from around the

world to come and perform

in front of English Premier

League scouts, all looking to

find the future stars of the game. Set at the

Manchester University Sports Complex, the

tournament is played out on 26 full grass pitches

in front of thousands of supporters cheering their

team on to become

Manchester Cup champions.

We have been excited in

recent years to have seen so

many talented young

footballers playing for local

teams being discovered by

scouts from major soccer

clubs and now signed as

professional players for

some of the world’s biggest

clubs. A fact we are very proud of at Team Tours

Direct.
