Glentoran FC will celebrate its 140th birthday with an anniversary match and the opening of a club that will support the local community. The Danske Bank Premiership leaders will compete against Carrick Rangers FC on October 7, exactly 140 years to the day since the club was founded.
And to celebrate this special birthday, club owner Ali Shams Pour will launch 'The 140 Club', a body set up to assist those in need within the local community during the cost-of-living crisis.
The 140 Club aims to raise and contribute £50,000 which will allow hundreds of families across Belfast to gain access to food packages, adequate clothing and gifts for children in the run up to Christmas.
