The longest running grassroots football tournament in the UK is gearing up for its big return in Ayr this weekend.
More than 10,000 players and spectators will pack into Rozelle for the 43rd running of the town’s International Youth Festival as it makes its comeback from Covid cold storage.
The three day competition – worth six figures to the South Ayrshire economy – will see top class action and feature more than 200 teams from across Scotland and Northern Ireland.
