Foyle Cup (Northern Ireland)
July 17-22, 2023
Foyle Cup - Northern Ireland 2023
The Foyle Cup was launched in 1992 with just eight competing teams.To date, the tournament has grown into a six-day festival of football which caters for entries from U8 to U19, with over 450 teams entering annually.
Teams are placed in geographically seeded groups and play a series of match against other side in the group. By the end of the group stage, teams are separated into Cup competitions in line with their group standings. Meaning, the best clubs compete for the “Foyle Cup”, and other teams are placed into subsidiary competitions.
Matches are spaced out across the day, allowing spectators to watch up to four games every day. The matches are played at over 38 superb venues in Derry, Strabane, Limavady, Eglinton, Greysteel, Dungiven, Coleraine and throughout counties Tyrone and Donegal. The finals are played at Ryan Mc Bride Brandywell Stadium.
The Foyle Cup Tournament had 455 plus entries across all age groups in 2022. Teams featuring over the years have included Wolves, Sheffield United, Altrincham, Montpellier, Paris St Germain, Norwich City, Slata (Sweden), FD Suomi (Norway), AS Dammartin (France), Everton America (USA), Tampa Bay Rowdies (USA), First Choice Soccer, GPS FC Bayern, Hamilton Academy, Hearts F.C, Partick Thistle, Dunfermline, Kilmarnock, Saint Johnstone, Hibernian FC, Dundee Utd, Werder Bremen, Dallas F.C (USA), Landsdowne Boys (USA), and more.
