Players will explore the famous home and away changing rooms, line up in the players’ tunnel, walking out onto the hallowed turf of Stamford Bridge to the matchday anthem 'Liquidator'. The tournament attracts entries from teams located from across the UK - a great opportunity to experience playing against different styles and make new friends. The stands will be open to spectators to make some noise and cheer on their players. A professional photography and filming service will also be available to book so you can capture memories to cherish from this special day. This is more than just an ordinary tournament – it’s a dream come true for any young footballer and memory to share with their friends on the school playground. Please note some age groups may be merged (i.e U13/14) depending on demand. Girls teams can play an age group down in line with FA rules. All age groups are based on the current 2025/26 football season. There will be 4 (Cup) or 8 (Cup & Plate) teams per age group depending on interest.
