Two Cup Finals With A Difference

Let them all come down to The Den for the Premier League International Cup final which takes place on Wednesday 4th May at 7pm.

The competition was introduced to give Under-21 sides from Premier League clubs a taste of what it is like to face European opposition.

All the matches are held in England as the competition is not sanctioned by UEFA and this year the final will be contested by two European clubs as the B teams of PSV Eindhoven and Villareal meet in South London (with a number of Villareal supporters presumably taking in the game before travelling up to Liverpool the following day for the Europa League semi-final).

Tickets at Millwall are priced at £3 Adults and £1 for Under-16’s.

The Teesside League will meet their West Yorkshire counterparts on neutral North Yorkshire territory when the FA Inter League Cup final is held at York City’s Bootham Crescent ground on Sunday 8th May at 2pm.

And it is not only silverware that the two teams will be playing for as the winners will also represent England at the UEFA Regions Cup, the qualifying round for which takes place in Romania in September.

Played for every two years since 2004, The FA website states that the Inter League Cup is the only adult male 11-a-side competition apart from The Emirates FA Cup where the winner qualifies for a UEFA tournament.

Admission to the game is priced at £5 for Adults and £1 for Concessions (U18s/OAPs).
